Intimin'-SpyCatcher
To trigger cell adhesion, we decided to make use of the SpyTag and SpyCatcher, two binding partners that form rapid covalent bonds. SpyTag (13 amino acids) and SpyCatcher (138 amino acids, 15 kDa) come from CnaB2 (immunoglobulin-llike collagen adhesin domain) of the FbaB protein, found in the invasive strains of S. pyogenes. We decided to fuse SpyTag and SpyCatcher to outer membrane surface proteins in distinct cell populations that would then aggregate once mixed together. This biobrick is the fusion of a truncated version of Intimin and SpyCatcher for the cell surface display of SpyCatcher
This biobrick is the fusion of a truncated version of Intimin (159kDa) and SpyCatcher (138 amino acids, 15 kDa) for the cell surface display of SpyCatcher. To trigger cell adhesion, we decided to make use of the SpyTag and SpyCatcher, two binding partners that form rapid covalent bonds fused to outer membrane surface proteins. SpyTag (13 amino acids) and SpyCatcher (138 amino acids, 15 kDa) come from CnaB2 (immunoglobulin-llike collagen adhesin domain) of the FbaB protein, found in the invasive strains of S. pyogenes. We decided to fuse SpyTag and SpyCatcher to outer membrane surface proteins in distinct cell populations that would then aggregate once mixed together. Intimin'-SpyTag and Intimin'-SpyTag will be placed under the control of our blue light inducible promoter Pblind to guide cell structure formation using blue light.
