Blue Fluorescent Protein (mTagBFP)

This part codes for the bright blue fluorescent protein mTagBFP. mTagBFP is a monomeric protein with a narrow fluorescence emission spectrum with a maximum at 456 nm. It has a tyrosine-based chromophore, giving it substantially higher brightness, faster chromophore maturation and higher pH stability than blue fluorescent proteins with a histidine in the chromophore. Subach et. al. started with a red fluorescent protein (TagRFP) and converted it to a bright blue monomeric protein. See the article listed in source. The sequence has been codon optimized for expression in E coli by DNA 2.0.

Subach et. al. reported the following data:

Excitation peak: 399 nm. Emission peak: 456 nm. Maturation Half-Time (min): 13. Relative brightness to EBFP2: 1.82. Extinction Coefficient (M-1 cm-1): 52000. Quantum Yield: 0.63.

Usage and Biology

This part is useful as a reporter.

BBa_K592100 Blue Fluorescent Protein (mTagBFP)

The E. coli expressing blue fluorescent protein(mTagBFP) were cultured at 28 °C and the overnight bacterial solution was collected for subsequent measurement.

After ultrasonically disruption of the above bacterial solution ,5 ul of each was added to 4 kinds of 45 ul solution having a pH of 3, 5, 7, and 9, and the fluorescence was measured using varioskan flash of Thermo Scientific. The excitation wavelength/emission wavelength corresponding to each fluorescent protein is: BFP:402/457.

Figure Fluorescence of BFP under different pH. There were two kinds of BFP expressing in E.coli(BFP) and expressing in E.coli after ultrasonically disruption(BFP-UC). Under the same pH, the fluorescence of BFP was higher than BFP-UC. With increasing of pH( among pH3, pH5, pH7,), the fluorescence of BFP and BFP-UC all raised. When the pH increased from pH7 to pH9, the fluorescence of BFP and BFP-UC were all down.

The results showed that the fluorescent value of each fluorescent protein did not change significantly in acid and alkali circumstance before sonication, but after sonication, each fluorescent protein showed the highest fluorescent value at pH 7, and the fluorescent value decreased as the environment became more acidic.

Shanghai_HS_United 2019's characterization

BBa_K592100 Blue Fluorescent Protein (mTagBFP)

When the fluorescent protein is excited, an emission spectrum is generated, and the emitted light has different fluorescence intensities at different wavelengths. To explore this, we designed a full-wavelength scan of the blue fluorescent protein.

1. We transformed the plasmid contanining BBa_K592100-mTagBFP into bacterial competent cells separately, plated and cultured overnight at 37 °C.

2. On the evening of the next day, we picked single clone into a tube containing 5 ml LB which is called 0h. At the same time, we also inoculated competent DH5α strain into a tube containing 5 ml LB as a blank control.We culture bacterial cells at 37 ° C, 220 rpm. The sampling time point is 24h.

3. We took 100ul of the bacteria culture and measured the total fluorescence with a Thermo fluorescence microplate reader. We took 200ul of the ten-fold diluted bacterial solution and measured the OD600 with BioTek optical microplate reader. Total fluorescence is divided by OD600 to obtain fluorescence value per OD600.

Characterization of popular BioBrick RBSs

Figure1. TagBFP containing strain RFU/OD600 at different emission Wavelength.

The K592100-mTagBFP RFU/OD600 of the strain varies with the emission wavelength. The overall curve showed a normal distribution and the RFU/OD600 of the strain reachs its maximum at 456 nm. The absorbance value of the blank control DH5α is close to zero.

These results indicate that the absorbance value of the strain is produced by the BFP protein expressed in the cell instead of other factors in the cell, and the BFP protein has the optimal excitation light wavelength 402nm and emission light wavelength 456nm.

To do this, the promoter was placed upon the mTagBFP gene (BBa_K4197013), allowing the production of a bright blue fluorescent protein detectable, by epifluorescence microscopy and FACS.

NAU-CHINA 2024’s Characterisation

BBa_K592100 Blue Fluorescent Protein (mTagBFP)

For the contribution part of our project, we undertook a systematic characterization of the fluorescence signal-to-noise ratio and thermal stability of the blue fluorescent protein mTagBFP. We inserted the BBa_K592100 part into the pET-29a(+) vector, and then transformed the recombinant plasmid into E. coli DH5α for amplification, followed by transformation into BL21(DE3) for protein expression. We measured the fluorescence signal-to-noise ratio and thermal stability of mTagBFP both in vivo within E. coli and in vitro.

1.Gene Activation and Cloning: The BBa_K592100 construct was activated from the distribution kit and the mTagBFP gene was homologously recombined into the pET29a(+) vector. This recombinant vector was then transformed into E. coli DH5α strain, which were cultured overnight at 37°C. Two single colonies were selected and inoculated into 5 mL of LB medium for 12 hours. Since the plasmid is expressed in the pET29a(+) vector, both LB agar plates and media were supplemented with Kanamycin at 50 μg/mL.

Figure 1: Observation on microscope of pET-21 b (+)_OmpA_DARPin strain with ihfb800-BFP (A) pET-21 b (+)_OmpA_DARPin strain with ihfb800-BFP were used a negative control (B). <p>2.Plasmid Extraction and Protein Expression: The plasmid was extracted and transformed into competent E. coli BL21(DE3) strain. After incubating in 5 mL LB medium for 12 hours, the culture was scaled up by transferring it into 50 mL LB medium and incubated until the optical density (OD600) reached 0.6-0.8. IPTG was then added to induce protein expression, and the culture was further incubated at 16°C for 20 hours. Protein extraction was performed using an ultrasonic cell disruptor.

3.Preliminary Fluorescence Measurements: A pre-experiment was conducted using a microplate reader to determine the excitation and emission wavelengths of the expressed blue fluorescent protein. We transferred 200 μL of bacterial culture or protein sample into a black opaque 96-well plate. Using a PerkinElmer Ensight multimode plate reader, vary the excitation wavelength to measure the fluorescence emission intensity of the samples in order to determine the optimal excitation wavelength for mTagBFP. Subsequently, fix the excitation wavelength and measure the emission spectra of the samples.

4.Fluorescence Signal-to-Noise Ratio Measurement: Based on preliminary results, we quantified the fluorescence intensity of the blue fluorescent protein mTagBFP expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) and the background fluorescence of the E. coli BL21(DE3) cells themselves. The signal-to-noise ratio of mTagBFP expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells were then calculated and evaluated.

5.Thermal Stability Characterization: Building on preliminary findings, we used the Thermo Fisher QuantStudio 5 real-time PCR system to assess the thermal stability of mTagBFP both in vivo and in vitro, across a temperature range of 25°C to 90°C. Fluorescence changes were continuously monitored as the temperature gradually increased during the experiment.
