Our Aim

Fig1.Bacteria Linker

To make stickey hands on E.coli, we focused on their flagella that are located outside the cells. We used the following mechanisms:

  • Display sticky peptides in flagellar filament.
  • The imidazole group in histidines make a complex with metal ions. 

We combined these two and made a His-tagged flagella in the hope to stick them together via metal ions.

About flagella

E.Coli have 5-10 flagella. The flagella is used for swimming and for chemotaxis; the bacteria run when they find attractant, tumble when there is a repellent.

E.coli flagella consist of three parts: a basal body, a hook, and a filament. The filament of E.Coli is a highly rigid, helical, and cylindrical structure which is 10-15μm long and 23nm thick in diameter. It is built from ~20000 subunits of a ~55kDa single protein, FliC. FliC has three domains, D1,D2,D3. Although D1 and D2 are needed for the formation of the functional flagellar filament, D3 does not take part in the formation of flagella. (Ref)

大腸菌は5~10本/細胞の鞭毛を持つ.鞭毛を回転/逆回転させることにより環境の良い場所へとtaxisする.
鞭毛は長さ約10~15μm,半径約23nmの空孔のチューブ状である.(図:菌全体)
鞭毛のフィラメント部はFliCという蛋白質が規則正しく配列した多量体である.(図:鞭毛アップ)
FliCはD0,D1,D2,D3ドメインを持つ.(種類によってはD1,D2,D3の3つのドメインを持つ)
D1とD2はformation of the functional flagellar formation(ffff)の為に必要であるが,D3ドメインは必要でなく可変である(図:蛋白質構造&鞭毛断面図)

Experiments

Making FliC-his gene

  • FliC遺伝子のD3領域に、Histidineループをコードする遺伝子を挿入し、ヒスチジンタグとして発現させる。

We inserted the gene of six histidine loop peptide (“His-Tag”).

Chiba check.png Swarm Confirmed
Chiba check.png Flagella strained with anti-flagella antibody

Display Check: Beads Adsorption

Purpose

Confirm that the his-tag is displaied on the flagella surface of E.Coli.

Samples

  • JW1908(⊿fliC株)
    • pUC19-fliC-his
    • plasmidなし
  • GI826(⊿fliC⊿motB株)
    • pUC19-fliC-his
    • plasmidなし

Procedure

  1. pUC19-FliC-His was transformed to JW1908(fliC) and GI826(fliC motB)
  2. 培養液をビーズと懸濁させ、大腸菌をBeadsに吸着する。
  3. 吸着した大腸菌をbufferで溶出し、incubate。

Results

  1. strainの比較(データ?)

Strain

Co2+

No metal

JW1908
fliC(-), motB(+)

吸着していない

吸着していない

GI826
fliC(-), motB(-)

吸着していた

吸着していない


(Negative Control 1:Noplasmid,Negative Control 2:Co2+あるいはNi2+の有り・無し) →吸着していなかった (Negative Control 1:Noplasmid,Negative Control 2:Co2+あるいはNi2+の有り・無し) →吸着していた。


fig2

Plasmidあり、かつCo2+つきビーズ、のコロニー数は、その他のものよりはるかに多い。30倍以上。 Histidine Tagの存在によって大腸菌がビーズに吸着吸着していることがわかる。 The number of colony dramatically decreased with out Co2+ or FliC-His plasmid.

  • 考察も書いたら? なぜコバルトがニッケルより良いのか?→一般的にニッケルよりコバルトの方が結合力が強いことが知られてて,FilChisに関してもそれは変わらないみたいな・・・by tashiro
