The behaviour of these genes when expressed in ''E. coli'' was characterized and easy to perform purification strategies for the expressed proteins were developed. Two purified fluorescent S-layer fusion proteins from different organisms were immobilized on beads, leading to a highly significant fluorescence enhancement of these beads (p < 10<sup>-14</sup>). Furthermore, regarding the other two S-layers (CspB from ''Corynebacterium glutamicum'' and ''Corynebacterium halotolerans''), we discovered that expression with a TAT-sequence and a lipid anchor resulted in an integration into the cell membrane, whereas the expression with a TAT-sequence alone resulted in a secretion into the medium. We also detected that those S-layers seem to stabilize the biological active conformation of mRFP. Furthermore, we expressed and purified a fluorescent CspB fusion protein from ''C. halotolerans'' which has not been expressed in ''E. coli'' before. |

Summary of results
Four different S-layer BioBricks with various lattice structures were created and sent to the Partsregistry. The behaviour of these genes when expressed in E. coli was characterized and easy to perform purification strategies for the expressed proteins were developed. Two purified fluorescent S-layer fusion proteins from different organisms were immobilized on beads, leading to a highly significant fluorescence enhancement of these beads (p < 10-14). Furthermore, regarding the other two S-layers (CspB from Corynebacterium glutamicum and Corynebacterium halotolerans), we discovered that expression with a TAT-sequence and a lipid anchor resulted in an integration into the cell membrane, whereas the expression with a TAT-sequence alone resulted in a secretion into the medium. We also detected that those S-layers seem to stabilize the biological active conformation of mRFP. Furthermore, we expressed and purified a fluorescent CspB fusion protein from C. halotolerans which has not been expressed in E. coli before.
Just follow our GUIDE TO DIY NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY and take a look how it is done:
The S-layer protein PS2 of Corynebacterium glutamicum
- Characterization of expression and induction of different variants of CspB fused with a monomeric RFP ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_E1010 BBa_E1010]). Expression was observed through measurement of optical density and fluorescence. Click on the construct to view the results.

- Measurement of fluoresence to identify the location of the fusion protein in different fractions of the cells. Fractions were washed cells, the periplasm fraction after disruption of the periplasm, the supernatant after cultivation, the wash fraction of the pellet after lysis and wash with ddH2O, as well as the fractions after treating the pellet from lysis with different detergents.
- Identification of location of fusion protein in the cell through fractionation with different detergents and periplasmatic disruption. Identification of protein-containing fractions with fluorescence measurement and MALDI-TOF. Table below shows the supposed location of the fusion protein in the cell, depending on presence of lipid anchor and TAT-sequence. Click on the construct to show the results.
