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 mHoneydew[2] as target protein can visually observe fluorescent protein (mHoneydew,target protein) showing orange fluorescence in the process of protein expression and two-phase extraction, so as to determine the separation and purification effect.
Biology
Conventional Orange FPs are mainly derived from two parental proteins: Kusabira-Orange (KO) and DsRed. KO was originally isolated from stony coral Fungiaconcinna, which provides bright orange fluorescence to proteins by introducing 10 amino acid residues at its N terminus. Shaner et al. improved mHoneydew and mOrange on the basis of mRFP1, a single molecule variant of DsRed.[3]
Design Consideration
The construction includes:
mHoneydew is fused with a GS linker（GGTGGTGGCGGCAGCGGCGGAGGCGGTAGT）
