mTurquoise2 with C-terminal SnoopCatcher regulated by tetA/B promotor

mVenus2 (together with mTurquoise2,[BBa_K4229064]) was used as a reporter by fusing it with a SpyCatcher, enabling recruitment by the SpyTag. We used this fusion protein to test the functionality of our compartments: the minimal (BBa_K4229047) and full wiffleball (BBa_K4229049), and SPD5 (BBa_K4229078). All compartmentalisation proteins have an N-terminal SpyTag. For experimental data please refer to the data listed in Biobrick BBa_K4229067.

The Snoop/SpyTag Snoop/SpyCatcher was tested with those two reporter genes. A fluorescent signal in the bacteria that expressed either protein could be detected.Upon co-expression with compartmentalisation proteins, foci were formed (especially well with the full wiffleball) with both reporter genes:

Fluorescent microscopy of T1 catching the mVenus2 and mturquoise2 when the minimal or full BMC construct is expressed: A Controls for induction; B T1 with and without the Spy/Snp tags; scalebar 5µm

It was later confirmed that in fact mTurqouise was cached by T1 by a western blot comparing the full wiffleball and the minimal wiffleball.

: Western Blot of the BMC minimal wiffleball (pT1spysnp) and full wiffleball (pT1spysnpT2T3) + mTurquoise2

With that, we can say that our mTurquiose2 with the snoopCatcher is successfully expressed and caught by our compartment.
