Due to the large molecular weight of the protein, NW50 is prone to dimerization during actual protein extraction. Protein dimerization can be minimized by adding the detergent Triton X-100 to the refined extraction buffer and reducing the nickel column elution time during the refined extraction process. It should be used as soon as possible after protein extraction to prevent the protein from self-dimerizing after a period of time(Figure 1). A more specific exploration of protein dimerization conditions can be found in the engineering section of iGEM24_BNU-China.

SpyCatcher can achieve covalent binding of proteins through Tag-Catcher interaction.

SpyCatcher comes from the spontaneous isopeptide bond domain in streptococcus pyogenes fibronectin-binding protein FbaB. It can cooperate with SpyTag to achieve covalent binding of proteins through Tag-Catcher interaction. The robust reaction conditions and irreversible linkage of SpyTag-Catcher provide a targetable lock in cells and a stable module for new protein architectures.

Characterization

In the design, we intend to use the robust reaction conditions and irreversible connections of SpyCatcher and SpyTag to link the two ends of the MSP protein, thereby enabling the formation of nanodisks. In the experiment, we successfully characterized the NW50 [BBa_K5301015] protein with spytag and spycatcher, but their presence promoted the dimerization of the protein (Figure 1a). Through the engineering of iGEM24_BNU-China, we alleviated the dimerization problem and produced a monomeric protein with two tags (Figure 1bc).

Conclusion

Finally, through electron microscope imaging, we determined that the nanodisk was successfully generated under the action of spytag and spycatcher(Figure 2).
