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

This composite BioBrick was used to visualize protein targeting into microcompartments by fluorescent microscopy. The SnoopCatcher is fused to the C-term of mTurquoise2.

We used this fusion protein to test the functionality of our compartments: the minimal wiffleball (BBa_K4229047), full wiffleball (BBa_K4229049), and SPD-5 (BBa_K4229078). All compartmentalization proteins have an N-terminal SpyTag.

A fluorescent signal in the bacteria that expressed either protein could be detected. Upon co-expression with compartmentalization 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 wiffleball construct is expressed: A. Controls for induction; B. T1 with and without the Spy/Snp tags; scale bar = 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.
