GST -> SPYCatcher -> Hydrophobin

Usage and Biology

Hydrophobin is a protein from Bacillus subtilis. In this paper, it shows that they self-assemble and get hydrophobic region[1]. iGEM OLS_Canmore_Canada 2018 team used this protein as PET binding protein.(BBa_K2650003) Because PET is hydrophobic, hydrophobin might contact with PET.

We wanted to know if hydrophobin can bind to PET by themselves. We put SpyCatcher(BBa_K1159200) on N-terminus of hydrophobin because we used SpyTag/SpyCatcher system to bind hydrophobin to other parts. Also, according to the paper which shows how to purify hydrophobins, they add GST, so we used the pGEX-6P-1whose backbone is GST as a vector too[1].

This part has three tags. First is 6×His-tag inserted in the N-terminus of SpyCatcher for protein purification. Second is MYC-tag inserted between sfGFP and SpyCatcher to detect it by using the antibody. Third is a TEV protease site and we put it between SpyCatcher and 6xHis-tag because it was used for protein purification in the paper[2].

We inserted it in the C-terminal of GST on the pGEX-6P-1.We used BL21 (DE3) for gene expression. We used Ni-NTA Agarose for purification. After that, we confirmed the molecular weight of hydrophobin by using SDS-PAGE. The result is shown below.

Purification


Expression

  • Cells were grown in 200ml LB media (100μg/ml Ampicillin) at 37oC shaking at 140 rpm to an OD600 of 0.5, verifying via a spectrophotometer.
  • Protein was expressed in 0.1mM IPTG for 2hours.

SDS-PAGE
