OmpA/OprF chimeric protein

Description

The OmpA/OprF chimeric protein consists of amino acid sequences from both OmpA transmembrane protein from E. coli and OprF porin protein from P. aeruginosa [1,2]. The newly added loop from OprF allows OmpA/OprF chimeric protein to bind to IFN-γ and initiate a signal transduction to the inner membrane [3].

Biology

Fig 1: Construction of OmpA/OprF chimeric protein


One of the innate functions of OprF is the capability to bind and respond to IFN-γ. Of the four β-barrel loops in OmpA, the first loop is removed and replaced by a loop from OprF, resulting in an OmpA protein with a section of OprF protein. The new extracellular peptides of the OmpA/OprF chimeric protein allows for binding of IFN-γ to the E. coli outer membrane, initiating the phage shock protein (Psp) system and its signal transduction to the inner membrane [3].

Usage

In the IFN-γ sensing system, OmpA/OprF chimeric protein expression is regulated by the ompA promoter. Binding of IFN-γ to the OmpA/OprF chimeric protein activates the pspA promoter, producing the enzyme required for the synthesis of taurine.

Characterization

The ompA/oprF sequence was synthesized by IDT and amplified by PCR. Agarose gel electrophoresis result is shown in Fig. 2.

圖片描述


Expression of OmpA/OprF chimeric protein was confirmed by western blot using anti-OmpA antibody.
