Introduction

Figure 1: T7Nterm-SL-Pertuzumab structure.

The CALIPSO part BBa_K4768005 is composed of the N-terminal subunit of the T7 RNA polymerase (residues 1 to 180) fused to the anti-HER2 antibody Pertuzumab through a soluble linker. This gene is under transcriptional control of an SP6 promoter and T7 terminator.

This part, coupled to the part BBa_K4768006 containing the C-terminal subunit of the T7 RNA polymerase, has been designed to develop a split T7 RNAP-based biosensor capable of recognizing HER-2, an epidermal growth factor that is overexpressed in cancer cells [1], in solution.

The HER2-induced T7 RNAP complex was designed from two existing constructs: a split T7 RNAP-based biosensor for the detection of rapamycin [2] and a split luciferase conjugated with antibodies capable of recognizing HER2 [3]. We decided to merge the relevant functionalities of these two constructs and created a new biosensor that transduces HER2 binding to gene expression activation.

Figure 2: Recognition of HER2 extracellular domain induces functional assembly of the split T7 RNA polymerase, which enables gene expression of target gene under control of a T7 promoter.

Construction

The CALIPSO part BBa_K4768005 consists in the N-terminal subunit of the T7 RNA polymerase fused to Pertuzumab, an anti-HER2 antibody, on its C-terminal domain through an 8-amino-acid linker of glycine and serine residues. The synthesis of this gBlock was made by IDT.

The gBlock was then cloned into the pET_21a(+) plasmid and transformed into Stellar competent cells. Figure 3 shows the restriction profile of the resulting clones. Clone 8 was digested using BsaI. Two bands were expected at 1.3 kb and 5.8 kb. Clones 6 and 15 were digested using EcoRV and XhoI. Two bands were expected at 2.6 kb and 4.6 kb. Only clone 8 showed the expected pattern (lane 3). Plasmids from clones 6 and 15 seemed to be the initial pET_21a(+).

Production

We first expressed part BBa_K4768005 from its DNA template using the PUREfree 2.0 kit supplemented with SP6 RNAP. The reaction products were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Because the theoretical molecular weight is 69 kDa, no other band from PURE system proteins was expected to migrate at this size. The protein pattern shown in Figure 4 exhibits an additional band around 69 kDa compared to the negative controls. This result indicates successful production of the full-length T7Nterm-SL-Pertuzumab in PUREfrex 2.0.
