Part:BBa_K5301018
sGFP11 tether is composed of mSA, a 3C linker, a 6His tag, and sGFP 11.
sGFP11 tether is composed of mSA, a 3C linker, a 6�His tag, and sGFP 11.We construct membrane protein dimers through the interaction between biotin and streptavidin, as well as the self-assembly mechanism of sGFP.
Usage and Biology
mSA is used for binding to biotinylated proteins, and sGFP1-10 and sGFP11 self-assemble to form GFP, thereby creating a protein dimer that can report the outcome with fluorescence.
Characterization
PCR
We conducted colony PCR validation to assess the feasibility of the plasmid pathway, as shown in Figure 1, where the corresponding bands are very clear, indicating that the target fragments were successfully introduced into the plasmid and transformed into the bacterial strain.

SDS-PAGE
SDS-PAGE was used to verify the purification of the sGFP11 tether. Due to the particularity of mSA, we simultaneously purified the soluble proteins from the supernatant and the inclusion body proteins from the pellet after bacterial lysis. It can be observed that the concentration and purity of the purified inclusion body proteins are high, while the concentration of the soluble proteins is low. Further exploration of soluble protein expression or assessment of inclusion body protein activity can be conducted subsequently. Based on the experience with the sGFP1-10 tether, we have purified the soluble and inclusion body proteins of the sGFP11 tether, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2.SDS-PAGE of the soluble sGFP11 tether.The molecular weight of the sGFP11 tether is 17.0 kDa. Bands 4 and 5 represent the elution results of the sGFP11 tether with 100 mM and 150 mM imidazole, respectively. It can be observed that the concentration of the protein eluted with 100 mM imidazole is higher.
