GST Fusion Expression, Purification and Activity Assay of SortaseA

It was to clone and express the Staphylococcus aureus sortaseA(SrtA)gene in prokaryotic expression system and to purify the GST fused protein.Then the activity of SrtA was detected by the substrate displayed on yeast cell surface.The truncated SrtA gene,SrtA△N59,was amplified by PCR using pMD20-SrtA as the template.The SrtA△N59 gene was digested with BamHⅠ and XhoⅠ,and inserted into vector pGEX-4T-1.Then,the recombinant expression vector pGEX-SrtA△N59 was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)and induced with IPTG.The protein SrtA△N59 was purified by GST affinity chromatography.The activity of SrtA△N59 was detected by the fluorescence intensity of free EGFP generated from the interaction of sortase with its substrate displayed on yeast surface.The SDS-PAGE result showed that approximately 42 kD protein was expressed by pGEX-SrtA△N59.The fluorescence intensity of free EGFP increased from 568.66±12.14 to 921.43±13.02 after interaction of sortase with its substrate.These results suggested that the recombinant expression vector pGEX-SrtA△N59 was successfully constructed and the active SrtA was soluble when expressed in Escherichia coli.
