Choosing the best reporter
The aim of this project is to analyze different reporter proteins to choose the best. As our project signal is based on bimolecular complementation, the reporter proteins will be split and analyzed under reassembly directed through synthetic leucine zippers. The best reporter will have to fulfill a set of characteristics. First, it has to show a bright signal, so the device can detect easily if the system has been activated. Second, the maturation of the reporter must be a fast as possible, to be able to detect a signal in a short timeframe. Last, our device will be used in tropical areas, where temperatures can be really high. Therefore, the reporter must also be able to produce a strong signal and mature fast at high temperatures.
The extracellular domain of the Invariant Surface Glycoprotein 64 and 65, fused to both a StrepII-tag and 10x HIS-tag has successfully been purified using strep-tactin gravity column, see figure 3.
The final 50 μl elution fraction (Elute 4) contains 283 μg/ml protein for rISG64, whereas the elution for rISG65 just contains 63 μg/ml protein. As seen from the high amounts of protein in the flowthrough, the column has reached its saturation point.
These tagged proteins, bound to the strep-tactin beads, are used for phage display selection.
Moreover, two biobricks were created of these constructs: BBa_K2387060 and BBa_K2387061. For this, the recombinant ISG gene, including the two tags, was cloned into the linearized pSB1C3 vector using biobrick assembly.
