Cloning

We ordered PsmCas13b gene from a synthesis company, then we cloned the gene into pC0061. Additionally,we attached 6xHis/Twin strep tag and SUMO tag to 5' end of the gene. We transformed the ligation product into E.coli Rosetta2(DE3)pLysS and confirmed the cloning by colony-PCR and sequencing.

PsmCas13b protein expression and purification

We expressed the protein in E. coli Rosetta 2 (DE3) pLysS. Expressed overnight at 16°C in LB medium under the condition of 1 mM IPTG. And as the sequence contains 6×His tags, we purified the protein through Ni-NTA agarose.

Characterization

Collateral cleavage activity of PsmCas13b protein

After we got the expressed and purified PsmCas13 protein, we needed to verify its activity to make sure it folds properly.We tested the kinetic curve of the protein to see the dynamic change of the flourescence.As shown in the figure 3,our protein shows considerable activity in cutting flourescence reporters.We can clearly see that after adding the target, the activity of the protein is greatly improved, which enables us to tell whether the target exists in the detecting system.Interestingly,as same as LwaCas13a protein,the PsmCas13b protein also exhibits "leakage activity",which is the main interference to the detecting results. Furthermore,after 100 mins of detecting, the fluorescence signal gradually became stable and finally decreased.We analysed it on the model page, click ZJUT_China_B Modelto see more details.

The plasmid map shows pSB1C3-His-SUMO-Cas13a which was cloned by the iGEM team Munich 2017 via Golden Gate cloning. The binding sites of used primers and all other components are annotated.
