Caveolin-1 coding region
Summary
This part contains the coding region of caveolin-1 (CAV1) gene, which naturally exists in many vertebrate cells. This gene could produce a kind of vesicle named caveolae in cell surfaces of mammals. According to a recent study, through heterologous expression of caveolin-1, heterologous caveolae (h-caveolae) will be observed in the cytoplasm of E. coli, where they can play the role of endocytosis (1,2). Therefore, we used caveolin-1 to perform endocytosis in E.coli.
Biology and Usage
The CAV1 gene derived from the human genome was chosen. By codon optimization, the sequence suitable for expression in E. coli was constructed, and we hoped that it could exert endocytosis in E. coli. Furthermore, this part was used to construct several composite parts.
The coding cequence of target gene CAV1 was inserted into an expression vectors with T7 and RBS to obtain BBa_K2922042. We transformed the constructed plasmid into E. coli BL21 (DE3) to verify its successful heterologous expression.
Thereafter, BBa_K2922042 was connected with BBa_K346030 constructed by Peking University in 2010, and a new composite part BBa_K2922044 was obtained. In BBa_K346030, the construction of DsbA-MBP fusion protein can localize the metal-binding peptide for lead in the periplasm of E. coli. We may imagine, the cooperation of CAV1 and DsbA-MBP could improve the absorption ability of E. coli toward lead in the aqueous environment through enrichment.
Identification
After receiving the synthesized Part DNA, restriction digest identification was done to certify the plasmid is correct, and and the experimental results were shown in Fig. 1. A separate fragment is 537 bp.
Verify the expression of CAV1
We used T7 promoter to highly express CAV1 in E. coli in our composite part BBa_K2922042. After heterologous protein expression, no target bands were observed through SDS-PAGE. However, according to literature, vesicles formed from CAV1 on the inner membrane of E. coli which could hardly be detected through SDS-PAGE technique. So, 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein, a fluorescent molecule, which could pass through the outer membrane but not the inner membrane (2) was selected to check if it can perform endocytosis. After induction, 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein was added to the medium and cultured for 24 h. As shown in Fig. 1, compared with the faint yellow color in control group, significant color change (orange-yellow color) was observed by naked eyes in the CAV1 group, which came from fluorescent dye. The rod-shaped fluorescence appeared in the CAV1 group obviously, and its relative position was consistent with that of bacteria in the bright field (Fig. 2).
