This page gives a basic overview about our cell-free bisphenol A biosensor system and the BioBricks we have used. A more detailed description of the biosensor system can be found in our project description as well as in the bisphenol A, S-layer and NAD+ detection background subsections.

How our system works

Figure 1: Production of the S-layer fusion proteins in E. coli. To build a cell-free bisphenol A biosensor the S-layer fusion proteins have to be extracted from the cells and purified (simplified schema).
Figure 2: Coating of the silica beads with the S-layer fusion proteins. Every silica bead gets covered with a geometric S-layer film consisting of an alternating structure of the two essential S-layer fusion proteins.
Figure 3: Visualization of our cell-free bisphenol A biosensor system with all essential components. Bisphenol A (BPA) is reduced by the electrons from NADH transferred by the ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase (FNR, BBa_K525499), ferredoxin (Fd, BBa_K123000) and cytochrome P450 (CYP, BBa_K123001) which are fused to a S-layer protein. The molecular beacon (hairpin structure) binds two short DNA oligos. The NAD+-dependent ligase (LigA, BBa_K525710), which is also fused to S-layer proteins, ligates the two oligos so that the hairpin structure opens up and the fluorophore is able to emit light after extinction.

Data for our favorite new parts

  1. BBa_K525305 - Fusion protein of S-layer SgsE and mCitrine: This fluorescent S-layer fusion protein is used to characterize purification methods and to demonstrate the S-layers ability to self-assemble on surfaces.
  2. BBa_K525515 - Fusion protein of BisdA and BisdB: This fusion protein improves the bisphenol A degradation in E. coli compared to the so far in the partsregistry existing BPA degrading BioBricks.
  3. BBa_K525710 - NAD+-dependent DNA ligase from E. coli (LigA) : This enzyme enables determination of NAD+ even in very low concentrations by introducing it to a molecular beacon based bioassay.
