rFET is a truncated form of the A chain of mouse fetuin-B (residues 141-169). Vertebrate fetuins are multi-domain plasma-proteins of the cystatin-superfamily (''2''). It was reported that mouse fetuin-B shows high inhibition effect to the toxin PirB (''3''). We used the ClusPro (''4'') to evaluate the affinity of mouse fetuin-B to PirA and PirB. The result showed that the 141-169 residues of the A chain of mouse fetuin-B has higher affinity to PirA and PirB than the complete A chain of mouse fetuin-B. What’s more, there is no glycosylation site in rFET sequence, so the expression of recombinant rFET by engineered ''E. coli'' can be available and functional. In summary, we chose the 141-169 residues of the A chain of mouse fetuin-B as the functional inhibitor and named it rFET (<partinfo>BBa_K4195009</partinfo>).<br/>

===Biology=== [级别1]

ClyA

Cytolysin A (ClyA) is a pore-forming toxin that is produced by some bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family. When fused with the C-terminal of ClyA, heterologous proteins can be displayed on the surface of the engineered bacteria and OMVs (outer membrane vesicles) released by them (1).

rFET

rFET is a truncated form of the A chain of mouse fetuin-B (residues 141-169). Vertebrate fetuins are multi-domain plasma-proteins of the cystatin-superfamily (2). It was reported that mouse fetuin-B shows high inhibition effect to the toxin PirB (3). We used the ClusPro (4) to evaluate the affinity of mouse fetuin-B to PirA and PirB. The result showed that the 141-169 residues of the A chain of mouse fetuin-B has higher affinity to PirA and PirB than the complete A chain of mouse fetuin-B. What’s more, there is no glycosylation site in rFET sequence, so the expression of recombinant rFET by engineered E. coli can be available and functional. In summary, we chose the 141-169 residues of the A chain of mouse fetuin-B as the functional inhibitor and named it rFET (BBa_K4195009).
The rFET can be displayed on the surface of the engineered bacteria and OMVs due to the localization of ClyA. The OMVs with rFET displayed is more stable in the environment than rFET and is a better choice for binding to toxins. This part has one more His-tag (6×His) than BBa_K4195027, which allows it to be used to verify the function of the display system.

Usage and design

Engineering outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) for treating and preventing AHPND caused by the pathogen V. parahaemolyticus are a significant part of OMEGA project (Operable Magic to Efficiently Getting over AHPND). Based on the efforts of our previous projects in 2020 (AnTea-Glyphosate) and 2021 (SALVAGE), we further developed the surface display system on the OMVs released by the engineered bacteria. The usage of cargo proteins was no more limited to enzymes that are usually utilized to catalyze series bio-chemical reactions, since some receptors or ligands involved in complex protein-protein interaction (PPI) were selected as the cargo candidates. This year, we chose two classic anchor proteins, ClyA and INPNC, to construct the display cassette with various cargo proteins including rFET (receptor), rLvAPN1 (receptor), TTPA (ligand) and TTPB (ligand) (Fig. 1). On one hand, with the receptors displayed, OMVs will gain the function of neutralizing toxins secreted by V. parahaemolyticus. On the other hand, with the assistance of ligands displayed on the surface, OMVs will become a special vector to deliver antimicrobials for the specific pathogen. In summary, we have taken a step closer to the collections of extracellular functional elements (EFE), combining the OMVs, secretion systems and surface display systems which we have been dedicated to since 2020.

For this part (ClyA-rFET-his), rFET-his was fused to the C-terminal of ClyA to verify the function of surface display system ClyA. Arabinose-inducible system was used in the expression circuit of this part in pSB1C3 then composite part BBa_K4195127 was obtained. We transformed the constructed plasmid into E. coli BL21(DE3) for further verification of its location on the surface of E. coli.</br>

Characterization

Identification

When constructing this circuit, colony PCR and gene sequencing were used to verify that the transformants were correct. Target bands (2484 bp) can be observed at the position between 2000 bp and 3000 bp (Fig. 2).

2. Ability of displaying heterologous protein on the surface of engineered bacteria

We used BBa_I0500 promoter and RBS (BBa_B0034) to express ClyA-rFET-his protein in E. coli BL21(DE3). The arabinose-induced overnight culture was then incubated with FITC-labeled anti-His-tag antibody to test whether the rFET was displayed on the surface of engineered bacteria or not.

The ratio of fluorescence intensity (λEx= 492 nm, λEm = 518 nm) to OD600 of positive control (bacteria with surface display system ClyA) is higher than that of negative control (bacteria without surface display system ClyA) (Fig. 3), which indicates that our surface display system works well that the receptor rFET is successfully located on the surface of bacteria.
