Part:BBa_K5301005

SCSdC-mCh[1-10] is one of the components of multi-polymerized MSP.

Usage and Biology

In order to produce large nanodiscs more conveniently, we hope to flexibly extend the length of MSP according to demand, and thus propose the concept of multi-polymer MSP, which refers to large circular MSPs through end-to-end connections of multiple MSP fragments. We used NW15 as the basic MSP and selected three types of linkers (Spy/Sdy/Snoop) to achieve the connection of different MSP fragments through the formation of covalent bonds, and adopted rigorous design to prevent self-cyclization of each fragment of the multi-polymer MSP. Finally, the successful cyclization of large circular MSPs is characterized by the fluorescence of mCherry after the combination of mCherry [1-10] and mCherry [11]. SCSdC-mCh[1-10], the first component of multi-polymerized MSP, is a fusion protein composed of SpyCatcher, mCherry [1-10], NW15, and SdyCatcher, with flexible GS linkers used to connect each part.

Cultivation, Purification and SDS-PAGE

Induction

Figure 1 | SDS-PAGE analysis of SCSdC-mCh[1-10] protein with IPTG concentration gradient induction. An IPTG concentration of 0.8mM was used for 16 hours induction at 16°C.

We chose the T7 expression system as the pathway for protein expression and induced protein expression by adding IPTG at an appropriate time. Through experimental validation, we added the IPTG solution at a concentration of 0.8mM when the OD value of the bacterial suspension reached 0.6-0.8, resulting in substantial expression of soluble proteins.
