Intein-Mediated Protein trans-Splicing of the Recombinant Streptavidin on Magnetosomes

Summary: | When expressing streptavidin recombinant polypeptide on magnetosomes (called bacterial magnetic nanoparticles, or BMPs), the presence of endogenous bacterial biotin might be detrimental. In the study, the streptavidin monomer fragment (SA
1–116
) was fused with the intein N-terminal (termed precursor SA
1–116
-IN), and SA
1–116
-IN was expressed in
E. coli
(BL21). Meanwhile, the SA
117–160
fragment was fused with the C-terminal intein, and then this chimeric polypeptide was expressed on magnetosomes by fusion with magnetosome membrance protein MamF. In the in vitro protein splicing system, the purified engineered magnetosomes (BMP-SA
117–160
-IC) and the SA
1–116
-IN precursor were mixed. Intein-mediated
trans
-splicing reaction was induced to produce the functional magnetic beads BMP-SA. Our results indicate that intein-mediated protein
trans
-splicing may lead to efficient synthesis of the recombinant streptavidin on the magnetosomes, showing its promising potential to produce other functional magnetic nanoparticles. |
