Fusion protein bilayer fabrication composed of recombinant azurin/cytochrome P450 by the sortase-mediated ligation method

초록

Recently, the fabrication of protein bilayer has been required for the development of protein or enzyme complex formation. In the present study, we fabricated a fusion protein bilayer composed of recombinant azurin-cytochrome P450, which was synthesized by a site-specific sortase-mediated ligation method. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin was modified by DNA recombinant technique, for enzymatic ligation and immobilization. The Pseudomonas putida cytochrome P450 was also modified for enzymatic ligation. The recombinant metalloproteins were conjugated via the sortase A. The conjugation was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and UV-vis. Then, the prepared fusion protein was immobilized on Au substrate, by the self-assembly method. The Azu-P450 (recombinant azurin-cytochrome P450) fusion protein layer was confirmed by AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) and SERS (Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy), to confirm the fusion protein bilayer orientation. Moreover, the electrochemical property of Azu-P450 was observed by cyclic voltammetry (CV). As a result, the Azu-P450 fusion protein bilayer shows good orientation on the Au substrate. Also, the original redox property of this fusion protein bilayer has been well maintained. The proposed fusion protein bilayer can (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
