Supercharged SpyCatcher allows for secretion of synthetic extracellular matrix proteins. (A) Schematic of genome variants for secretion of SpyCatcher (SC)-ELP60-336c protein and supercharged SpyCatcher [SC(−)]-ELP60-336c protein. The green segment indicates a FLAG tag and orange segment indicates a Strep tag. All genes contain the native rsaA promoter and 5′ UTR. (B) Immunoblot with anti-FLAG antibodies against the whole-cell lysate (indicated by C) and extracellular medium (indicated by E) of Sec:parent (first and second lanes), Sec:SC-ELP60-336c (third and fourth lanes), and Sec:SC(−)ELP60-336c (fifth and sixth lanes). While the matrix protein is not detected in the Sec:parent and Sec:SC-ELP60-336c cultures, the Sec:SC(−)-ELP60-336c strain achieves notable levels of secretion.
