<p>In our project, given the positive correlation between number of repeat units and magnitude of cohesive force, we designed a circular mRNA on which the OFR of TRn5 (<a href="https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K5398001"> BBa_K5398001</a>) between the 3' and 5' intron of <i>td</i> gene from T4 phage (BBa_K5398002 and BBa_K5398003). This strategy could use short sequences to express highly repetitive squid ring teeth proteins. A self-cleaving RNA cyclase ribozyme was incorporated to form the circular mRNAs, allowing ribosomes to repeatedly translate the sequence of interest and producing proteins with different repeat numbers, thus we could obtain proteins with exceptional self-healing properties.</p>

<p>The synthetic plasmid pET-29a(+)-cmRNA(TRn5) was transformed into <i>E.coli</i> BL21 (DE3) and recombinant proteins were expressed using LB medium (Fig. 3). </p>
  
<p>After incubation at 37℃ for 5h and 16℃ for 20h, respectively, we found that the TRn expression level in both supernatant and pellet was pretty low. The TRn polypeptide was composed of repeating units with a size of 16 kDa, which was formed by the ribosome traveling one round along the circular mRNA. Due to uncertainty of the round number that the ribosome traveled, TRn sample was a mixture of proteins with various sizes that formed a ladder on the gel. According to the protein marker, we supposed that the sizes of the proteins ranged from about 8 to 96 kDa, indicating that the ribosome could travel along the cmRNA at least 6 rounds (Fig. 3).</p>

The 3' intron of td gene from T4 phage

This part is a component of the td intron (5' side), an intron of the td gene from T4 phage belonging to group I introns, which can form a circular mRNA (cmRNA) to make the ribosomes repeatedly translate the extron. This year, we utilized the td intron to produce the squid ring proteins with various long tandem repeats. We explored different production and purification strategies of target protein produced by cmRNA and examined the function of protein.

Introduction

Due to special internal structure, the td intron, also called RNA cyclase ribozyme, can splice themselves out without assistance from the spliceosome or other proteins, and instead rely on a free guanosine nucleotide to initiate the splicing reaction in vivo. This process results in joining of the flanking exons and circularization of the intervening intron to produce an intronic circRNA (Fig. 1). So it is a strategy to produce circular RNAs in vivo.

Protein purification

Fig. 1 Mechanism of group I introns. (GOMES R M O da S et al. 2024)

Therefore, an engineering cmRNA was designed by employing the RNA cyclase ribozyme mechanism. This elaborate design of cmRNA sequence circularizes the exon to form a back-splice junction (BSJ) in a reaction catalyzed by guanosine. To ensure that the ribosomes do not translate the open reading frame (ORF) of gene of interest (GOI) from unprocessed linear mRNA, the ribosome binding sequence (RBS) and start codon ATG were placed downstream of GOI coding sequence. Consequently, the regulatory sequences were located upstream of the coding sequence only after circularization of the mRNA. To purify the resulting polypeptides, a His tag was incorporated into the GOI. If the mRNA is circularized, the ribosome could circle the cmRNA, producing a long repeating polypeptide (Fig. 2).

Usage and Biology

In our project, given the positive correlation between number of repeat units and magnitude of cohesive force, we designed a circular mRNA on which the OFR of TRn5 ( BBa_K5398001) between the 3' and 5' intron of td gene from T4 phage (BBa_K5398002 and BBa_K5398003). This strategy could use short sequences to express highly repetitive squid ring teeth proteins. A self-cleaving RNA cyclase ribozyme was incorporated to form the circular mRNAs, allowing ribosomes to repeatedly translate the sequence of interest and producing proteins with different repeat numbers, thus we could obtain proteins with exceptional self-healing properties.

Characterization

Protein expression

The synthetic plasmid pET-29a(+)-cmRNA(TRn5) was transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3) and recombinant proteins were expressed using LB medium (Fig. 3).

Protein purification

Optimization of incubation temperature

Aim:To determine which incubation temperature is beter for protein expression using mRNA circularization.

Methods:The cells were inoculated in LB media at 37℃ for 5 h and 16℃ for 20 h respectively. The cultures were induced with 1 mM IPTG and the proteins were expressed. An SDS-gel was used to assess the results.

Results:We found that the TRn exsised in both supernatant and pellet and the TRn expression level at two temperatures (37℃ and 16℃) had little difference. The TRn polypeptide was composed of repeating units with a size of 16 kDa, which was formed by the ribosome traveling one round along the cmRNA. Due to uncertainty of the round number that the ribosome traveled, TRn sample was a mixture of proteins with various sizes that formed a ladder on the gel. According to the protein marker, we supposed that the sizes of the proteins ranged from about 8 to 96 kDa, indicating that the ribosome could travel along the cmRNA at least 6 rounds (Fig. 4).

Optimization of IPTG concentration

Aim:To determine which IPTG concentration is beter for protein expression using mRNA circularization.

Methods:The cells were inoculated in LB media at 37℃ for 5 h. The cultures were induced with 0.5 mM and 1 mM IPTG and the proteins were expressed. An SDS-gel was used to assess the results.

Results:From the SDS-PAGE (Fig. 5), we found that the TRn expression level at two IPTG concentration (0.5 mM and 1 mM) had little difference and the protreins also formed a ladder on the gel.

Optimization of purification

Self-healing test

We obtained protein samples of TRn by freezedrying 24 h. The final yield was about 15 mg/1 L bacterial culture. Next, we dissolved protein samples in 5% acetic acid to reach 20 mg/μL, cast them into square models and dried them at 70℃ for 3 h to obtain protein films.
