Usage

Aqueous two-phase separation (ATPS) is a liquid-liquid fractionation technique effectively used for protein separation and purification[1]. When a protein fuses with a hydrophobin, the hydrophobin changes the hydrophobicity of the protein, which causes the protein to aggregate into the surfactants.

Our team is trying to improve traditional ATPS by incorporating a continuous-flow system and replacing fungal hydrophobins with BslA. Using EBFP[2] as target protein can visually observe fluorescent protein (EBFP,target protein) showing blue fluorescence in the process of protein expression and two-phase extraction, so as to determine the separation and purification effect.

Biology

Blue fluorescent protein (BFP)[3] was mutant of GFP which originally identified from the jellyfish (Aequorea victoria).

Design Consideration

The construct was cloned into a pET28a plasmid and transformed into BL21 (DE3) E. coli and Rosetta E. coli.

The construction includes:

EBFP is fused with BslA with a GS linker(GGTGGTGGCGGCAGCGGCGGAGGCGGTAGT) and TEVlinker(GAAAACCTGTACTTCCAGGGTTCTGGT)

Protein Expression

We transformed recombinant plasmids (pET28a-EBFP-GSlinker-BslA) into BL21 and Rosetta expressing strains.

Detection of fusion protein function

After the cells of the recombinant strains were induced, centrifuged, and sonicated, the soluble proteins expressed by the strains were all in the supernatant, We used a comparative experiment to add different droplets to the hydrophobic material and observe the water contact Angle.

Aqueous two-phase separation (ATPS) Testing

We used 1×PBS as a blank control, we added isobutanol to the protein supernatant, shaken and let stand for a few minutes until the two phases were clearly separated.
