Usage

This part is the N-terminal domain of the ice nucleation protein. Here we established an approach to display PETase on the surface of Escherichia coli (E. coli) using N-terminal of ice nucleation protein as anchoring motif. Compared with the other anchoring motif, INP can be expressed at the cell surface of E. coli at a very high level, without affecting cell viability Bacteria cell surface display means we fix the enzyme onto the out membrane of E.coli. According to the immobilization the enzyme are capable to stay at a proper orientation so that they get more possibilities to combine with the PET. Besides, our method solve the problem of the degradation PETase. The enzyme will be stable in the cell surface display system.

Biology

Surface expression of recombinant proteins was first described more than 30 years ago.INP is an OMP that is found in several plant pathogenic bacteria. Our inaK is from Pseudomonas. INP has several unique structural and functional features that make it highly suitable for use in a bacterial surface display system. The specific amino acids of the N-terminal domain are relatively hydrophobic and link the protein to the OM via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor. The C-terminal domain of the protein is highly hydrophilic and exposed to the medium. The central part of INP comprises a series of repeating domains that act as templates for ice crystal formation. However, the N-terminal domain appears to be the only prerequisite for successful targeting and surface-anchoring.
