Usage and Biology
In order to heal the intestinal tract damage, one of notable symptoms of IBD, we adopted a special therapy expressing the therapeutic proteins controllably by E.coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) in situ. The design is based on a ternary system: sensor - secretion peptide - therapeutic proteins.
TorA is one of candidate secretion peptides we screened out, which is a most essential element that help our therapeutic protein secrete outside the engineered bacteria and diffuse inside the patient's intestinal tract. It is a signal peptide of Escherichia coli trimethylamine N-oxide reductase 1[1]. The sequence is mainly based on literature we had reviewed and modified by our condon preference system.
Functional Verification
For all candidate secretion peptides, we did codon analysis with our own software tool.(Figure 2)
As for TorA, the result of codon preference is shown in Figure 3.
The workflow of the verification of the secretion peptides' function is shown in Figure 4
The functional verification of secretion peptides was conducted by checking the fluorescence of the bacteria supernatant after centrifuging at 8000 rpm for 1 minute. The fluorescence is measured by microplate reader. The results are shown in Figure 5.
With RGP-GFP group (RGP is the plasmid backbone in our design) as a negative control, which doesn’t have any secretion peptide to diffuse GFP out of the protein, RGP-DsbA-GFP, however, does not show a significant difference. The fluorescence is slightly higher, but maybe due to the volatile lab environment, the significance cannot be shown. Nevertheless, we evaluate this part as a success.
