Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β is known to be phosphorylated by several enzymes in eukaryotic cells. We used first 13 amino acid as a tag (GSK tag) of injected fusion protein<sup>[[#References|[1]]]</sup>. Ninth amino acid, serine, is phosphorylated in eukaryotic cells (Fig. 1). GSK tags phosphorylated state can be specifically detected by using phospho-specific antibodies. So it is effective method to distinguish GSK tag fusion protein existing in eukaryotic cells from uninjected protein remaining ''E. coli''.

==GSK tag==

GSK tag was constructed by Julie Torruellas Garcia et al. It is phosphorylated only in eucaryotic cells. So, we can figure out if protein was injected in eucaryotic cells by detecting phosphorylated GSK tag. GSK tag is derived from first 13aa of GSK-3β. Because of it's small size, the interference in tagged protein should be at minimum. We removed present Spe I site in the sequence by silent mutation.
 
-
It was reported that GSK tag can be added to N terminus, C terminus and anywhere in between of the protein. T3S signal should be on N terminus, we inserted GSK tag between T3S signal and Bsa I cloning site.

GSK tag can be added to N terminus<sup>[[#References|[1]]]</sup>, C terminus<sup>[[#References|[1]]]</sup>, and anywhere in middle<sup>[[#References|[2]]]</sup>, of the protein. We located the tag between SlrP secretion tag and the protein fused to it.

===Investigation of T3SS-injectable proteins===
+
Non-phosphospecific antibodies can used for determination of total amount of expressed fusion protein within the assay.
-
Here we will discuss the structure of proteins which are injected and which are not. We tried eight different proteins: mnt repressor, Gal4, RFP, GFP, Cre DNA recombinase, (CCR5) transmembrane, LacI and Luciferase. All were chosen from biobrick distribution which shows their significant importance for iGEM.  
+
-
Our main concern was not with the size the protein but its stability. Previous research show that proteins like Zinc-Finger are were stable and couldn't be injected. Stability prevents unfolding by T3SS chaperons. Our asortment includes Gal4 which is representative of stable proteins.
+
==Construction of GSK tagged T3SS-injectable proteins==
 +
Here we show a list of proteins which are to be tested for protein screening using GSK tag. We chose 8 different proteins (Table. 1). All are from iGEM 2011 biobrick distribution kit. As these parts are widely used in iGEM, characterising them would have a bigger impact compared to exotic ones.
 +
Our main concern is not with the size but the stability of proteins against unfolding by T3SS chaperone. Previous research indicate that proteins containing Zinc-Fingers are very stable and couldn't be injected. Proteins containing such stable structure is thought to resist unfolding by T3SS chaperon.
 +
 +
We cloned these proteins into the Bsa I cloning site mentioned [[Team:HokkaidoU_Japan/Project/Backbone|here]].
 +
 +
We have previously shown that GFP can be injected into eucaryotic cells by observation under confocal laser microscope. Thus we have a positive control.

GSK tag

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β is known to be phosphorylated by several enzymes in eukaryotic cells. We used first 13 amino acid as a tag (GSK tag) of injected fusion protein[1]. Ninth amino acid, serine, is phosphorylated in eukaryotic cells (Fig. 1). GSK tags phosphorylated state can be specifically detected by using phospho-specific antibodies. So it is effective method to distinguish GSK tag fusion protein existing in eukaryotic cells from uninjected protein remaining E. coli.

GSK tag was constructed by Julie Torruellas Garcia, Gregory V. Plano et al. We removed present Spe I site in the sequence by silent mutation.

Phosphorylated Serine is shown as S-p.


GSK tag can be added to N terminus[1], C terminus[1], and anywhere in middle[2], of the protein. We located the tag between SlrP secretion tag and the protein fused to it.

Non-phosphospecific antibodies can used for determination of total amount of expressed fusion protein within the assay.

Construction of GSK tagged T3SS-injectable proteins

Here we show a list of proteins which are to be tested for protein screening using GSK tag. We chose 8 different proteins (Table. 1). All are from iGEM 2011 biobrick distribution kit. As these parts are widely used in iGEM, characterising them would have a bigger impact compared to exotic ones.

Our main concern is not with the size but the stability of proteins against unfolding by T3SS chaperone. Previous research indicate that proteins containing Zinc-Fingers are very stable and couldn't be injected. Proteins containing such stable structure is thought to resist unfolding by T3SS chaperon.

We cloned these proteins into the Bsa I cloning site mentioned here.

We have previously shown that GFP can be injected into eucaryotic cells by observation under confocal laser microscope. Thus we have a positive control.
