Splitted and engineered C-terminal FbaB for isopeptide bound formation (SpyTag) in RFC[25]

This part codes for a oligopeptide that is recognized and bound by a covalent isopeptide bound to a protein, called SpyCatcher. That catcher protein for this oligopeptdie can be found under BBa_K1159200. This part is flanked by RFC[25] pre- and suffix for further protein fusions.

This part codes for a protein that recognizes and forms a covalent isopeptide bound to a oligopeptide. That oligopeptide can be found under BBa_K1159201. In contrast to the original SpyCatcher this part only contains the essential part for forming isopeptide bounds and does not contain a N-terminal His-tag and TEV cleavage site. Furthermore two amino acids were exchanged to improve the function, Ile34 was replaced by Glu34 which enhances the reaction rate, also the exposed hydrophobic redidue Met69 was replaced by Tyr69. This part is flanked by RFC[25] pre- and suffix for further protein fusions.

Experimental Evidence

Proper funtion of the construct was verified in a pulldown assay using 10 μM of SpyCatcher with N-terminal HisTag which was incubated with 5 μM of C-terminal spytagged SYFP2 for 1 h in PBS. Afterwards HisTag beads were added to bind the fusion product, resulting in a decrease of spytagged SYFP2 in the supernatant. The results of this assay are shown in Figure 2. The results show that after one hour at room temeperature, a two fold change in relative absorbance was observed. This verifies that the construct is working as intended.
