oprF-GS-FLAG-LBT10-GS-LBT10-GS-LBT10
The report part of our circuit. Oprf can be expressed as an anchor on the cell membrane to make sure the LBT can combine with terbium (Tb3 +) on the surface of the bacteria.
Usage and biology
LBT（lanthanide binding tag） is a kind of protein which can bind with the lanthanide ions.With the help of oprF,our bacteria could express the LBT on its cell membrane and bind the lanthanide ions in the water.So once we put our bacteria into the water,the lanthanide ions in the water would be bound with the bacteria and the concentration of the lanthanide ions in the water would decrease. In this way,no matter how large the water body is,we can put our bacteria in the water and let the bacteria bind the targeted ions in the polluted water.We can even link three specific LBTs for different water bodies.And as the pollution of lanthanide ions is serious,we think that the using of our production would be popular.
Characterization
This is a part for recycling.LBT1 can bind the lanthanide ions and it can be expressed at the cell membrane of E.coli with the help of oprF.We set the 'FLAG' between oprF and LBT for fluorescence detection.In our experiment,we let the LBT9 be expressed successfully which means that the lanthanide ions in the water would be bound and recycled effectively after we put the bacteria in the water.
SDS-PAGE
After oprF-LBT9 is expressed successfully,we centrifuged the bacteria liquid and separated different proteins by SDS-PAGE.
Figure shows an obvious ~31kDa protein bands of oprF-3*LBT9 in test lane, which cannot be found in control lane.This result proves that the bacteria could express OprF-LBT9 successfully.
Fluorescence Detection
After the induction by IPTG,we use DYKDDDDK Tag (9A3) Mouse mAb (Binds to same epitope as Sigma's Anti-FLAG M2 Antibody) as the primary antibody and the Anti-mouse IgG (H+L), F(ab')2 Fragment (Alexa Fluor 488 Conjugate) as the second antibody.
Under fluorescence microscope,oprF-LBT9 excitated a bright fluorescence at 488nm.
Improvement
As we didn’t have enough time,we couldn’t let all the 12 LBT be expressed successfully(LBT2/5/9 are failed).After competition of this year,HUST-China will get these 3 LBTs to be expressed and improve the efficiency of expression.If we make it,we will link different LBTs together and they will be different in the ability of binding the lanthanide ions so that we can link suitable LBTs for each water body.
