Usage and Biology
Oprf-Sitag-FP is a protein composed of oprf, Sitag, dLBT and LanM peptides. It is the main element for adsorption and recovery of lanthanides. Oprf has a membrane-binding domain, which helps the protein binding on the cell membrane of our engineered bacteria. Sitag is a tag that can connect with silicon element. It allows us to easily fix our protein just using a silica column. dLBT can highly absorb Tb3+, the most representative element of lanthanides. Thanks to HUST-China 2017, we successfully obtained the dLBT with the best adsorption effect from 12 different LBT domains. LanM has great characteristics of efficient and specific absorbing lanthanides which can effectively absorb the free lanthanides in the environment. Through GS linker to combine the first three peptides and rigid linker to combine dLBT and LanM, we have connected them as a whole and created a new protein that can stick on our E. coli membrane and fix to silica column with its engineered bacteria together. When the mining wastewater flows through the column, the lanthanides can be effectively adsorbed, so as to achieve the purpose of rare earth element recovery.
Molecular cloning
Using E. coli to extract our plasmids. Through designed primers, we have obtained different high copies linearized fragments from our plasmids by PCR. These fragments are then connected together by homologous recombination to form a complete plasmid. After transformed into E. coli, colony PCR was applied for confirmation. Then we go for extracting plasmids again.
Finally we transformed our recombinant plasmids into E. coli BL21(DE3) competent cells. Correct as checked by colony PCR.
SDS-PAGE
After confirming through colony PCR and sequencing, we used the successfully transformed E. coli BL21 (DE3) for expression. We induced with IPTG and Tb3+ or IPTG and Cu2+ then followed by cell disruption to detect membrane proteins, as our fusion proteins would be expressed on the cell membrane.
