Furthermore regarding the other two S-layers (CspB from ''Corynebacterium glutamicum'' and ''Corynebacterium halotolerans'') we discovered that while expression with a lipid anchor resulted in an integration into the cell membrane, the expression with a TAT-sequence resulted in a segregation into the medium. We also detected, that those S-layers seem to stabilize the biologically active conformation of mRFP. Furthermore we expressed and purified a fluorescent CspB fusion protein from ''C. halotolerans'' which has never been expressed in ''E. coli'' until now.

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.

  • Expression of SgsE|firefly luciferase [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K525311 (K525311)] fusion protein under the control of a T7 / lac promoter in E. coli KRX.
  • Characterization of immobilization behaviour of proteins used to coat silica beads through measurement of fluorescence of supernatant, wash fraction and beads (See: Immobilization behaviour).
  • Immobilization experiments to determine the optimal bead to protein ratio (See: bead to protein ratio). Data could be fitted to a dose-response function. A good silica bead concentration for immobilization of 100 µg protein could be calculated to be approx. 150 - 200 mg mL-1.
  • Expression and purification of an SgsE | luciferase fusion protein




The S-layer protein SbpA of Lysinibacillus sphaericus CCM 2177

  • Characterization of the expression of [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php/Part:BBa_K525405 K525405], a translational fusion of the sbpA gene ([http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php/Part:BBa_K525403 K525403]) with the mCitrine gene ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J18931 J18931]). Expression was observed through measurement of fluorescence intensity and optical density (See: Expression in E. coli).
  • Isolation and purifciation of the inclusion bodies using different detergents, ultra- and diafiltration. Provision of methods to easily obtain water-soluble fusion protein monomers for recrystallization and coating experiments through dialysis (See: Purification of SbpA fusion protein inclusion bodies).
  • Immobilization experiments to determine optimal bead to protein ratio (See: Immobilization behaviour). Data could be fitted to a dose-response function. A good silica bead concentration for immobilization of 100 µg protein could be calculated to be approx. 200 - 250 mg mL-1.
