- Example 1 three different bacterial cells were used: cells transformed with a single plasmid to express wild-type MBP (without a nonstandard amino acid), where the bacteria lacked an orthogonal translation system ("No mutation/No OTS”); cells transformed with a plasmid to express wild-type MBP (without a nonstandard amino acid) expressed and a plasmid comprising an orthogonal translation system ("No mutation/With OTS”); and cells transformed with a plasmid to express MBP comprising the nonstandard amino acid p-AzP and a plasmid comprising an orthogonal translation system ("UAG mutation/With OTS”). 0.05% arabinose was added as an inducer to induce the production of the orthogonal translation system and of MBP.
- p-AzP was not added to the culture media of the bacteria of the first group ⁇ i.e., No mutation/No OTS and UAG mutation/With OTS). However, p-AzF was added at a final concentration of 1 mM to the culture media of the bacteria of the remaining two groups ⁇ i.e., No mutation/With OTS and UAG mutation/With OTS) at the time of induction.

Labeling reactions were run on SDS- PAGE gels and Cy5 fluorescence was detected using a FluorChem M System.
- MBP comprising /?-AzF can be successfully reacted with DBCO-Cy5 to label the protein. Further, very little background incorporation of p-AzP into endogenous E. coli proteins appears to have occurred, as determined by analyzing the background fluorescence in cells transformed with a plasmid to express wild-type MBP (without a nonstandard amino acid) expressed and a plasmid comprising an orthogonal translation system ("No

- DBCO-Cy5 concentrated 500 mM eluates of the purified protein were incubated for 1 hour at room temperature with DBCO-Cy5 dye at a molar excess of DBCO-Cy5 to MBP. Labeling reactions were run on SDS-PAGE gels and Cy5 fluorescence was detected using a FluorChem M System.
- CsgA comprising p-AzP can be successfully reacted with DBCO-Cy5 to label the protein. Further, the apparent higher background staining observed could be due to the low CsgA concentration loaded onto the SDS-PAGE gel.
- Example 6 CsgA comprising the nonstandard amino acid ?-AzF expressed in E. coli Nissle 1917 forms curli fibers
- the membranes were then washed in water, and the solvent was gradually exchanged to ethanol with an increasing ethanol 15 minute incubation step gradient (25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 % (v/v) ethanol).
- the membranes were dried in a critical point dryer and sputtered until they were coated in a 5 nm layer of Pt/Pd. Imaging was performed using a Zeiss Ultra 55 Field Emission SEM. As shown in Figure 9, no curli fiber production was observed in cells expressing MBP as expected, since the strain of E. coli Nissle has a deletion of the endogenous curli operons.
- DBCO-Cy5 could be varied by administering less p-AzP to the cultured cells. As shown in Figure 13, when cells were grown in media containing varying concentrations of the nonstandard amino acid, lower concentrations of p-AzP resulted in a smaller fraction of labeled fibers after incubation with DBCO-Cy5.

- Example 10 In vivo labeling and detection of engineered bacteria comprising mutant CsgA or mutant TraT having the non-standard amino acid pAzF
- Plasmids expressing either wild-type (wt) TraT or a mutant TraT having a labeling codon were transformed into PBP8 cells with or without the pEVOL-pAzF plasmid, which encodes an orthogonal translation system (OTS), and expression was induced. Proteins were purified after cells lysis and detected using Western Blot with either anti-myc or anti-his antibodies. Both wt and mutant TraT proteins have an expected molecular weight of about 27 kDa, each variants having a his-tag before either the stop-codon or the amber-codon (i.e. , labeling codon), respectively (FIG. 15A).
- a second band having a molecular weight of about 34 kDa was observed in Western Blots of cells expressing the mutant TraT protein using either an anti-His antibody (FIG. 15A) or an anti-myc antibody (FIG. 15B).
- the 34 kDa band is the expected size of the full length mutant TraT.
- FIG. 15C in cells lacking the OTS and not grown in the presence of NSAA, about 5% of the protein expressed was the 34 kDa variant. This read-through might be a result of an Amber suppression mutation.
- about 35% of TraT protein observed in the cells expressing both the mutant TraT, the OTS, and cultured in the presence of NSAA was full length. Premature termination of translation appears to have occurred at the amber codon, perhaps due to inefficiencies of the OTS.
- Mutant TraT comprising pAzF, mutant CsgA comprising pAzF, wild-type
- CsgA, and wild-type TraT were purified, incubated with DBCO-Cy5 and analyzed through SDS PAGE.
- Two bands, each representing TraT or CsgA were visible using red fluorescence imaging (FIG. 16), and solely observed in cells comprising both the plasmid expressing the mutant TraT or mutant CsgA and the plasmid comprising the OTS, when the cells were grown in the presence of the NSAA pAzF. Since no protein bands were observed in the negative controls (i.e., bacterial cells expressing wt CsgA or wt TraT in the presence or absence of both the OTS and NSAA pAzF), both the mutation and OTS are necessary for the incorporation of the NSAA.
- Cy5 either non-transformed PBP8 cells (control), or PBP8 cells transformed to express mutant TraT and the OTS were incubated with either 100 ⁇ or 200 ⁇ DBCO-Cy5 at either 25°C or 37°C.
- labeling performed using 200 ⁇ DBCO-Cy5 at 25°C resulted in comparable fluorescence intensity as labeling performed using 100 ⁇ DBCO-Cy5 at 37°C.
- concentrations of DBCO-Cy5 for labeling demonstrated that fluorescence intensity increased proportionally with higher concentration of DBCO-Cy5, with saturation observed at 300 ⁇ DBCO-Cy5.
- FIGs. 18C and 18D cells expressing either mutant CsgA or mutant TraT incubated with 200 ⁇ DBCO-Cy5 for labeling between 1-4 hours, showed maximum labeling after 2 hours. Fluorescence intensity decrease after 2 hours, which may be due to protein degradation.
- Cy5- DBCO labeling was detected in both PBP8 cells expressing either mutant CsgA comprising pAzF or mutant TraT comprising pAzF and the OTS. Further, as shown in FIGs. 19 and 20, a bimodal distribution was observed when flow cytometry was performed on cell
- mice comprising pAzF labelled with Cy5-DBCO were detectable after passing the gastrointestinal tract, in vivo experiments were designed to label the bacteria in vivo. Briefly, four groups of mice were treated with either (a) Cy5-DBCO dye alone (Group 1); (b) bacteria expressing wild-type CsgA (Group 2); (c) bacteria expressing mutant CsgA comprising pAzF in the absence of arabinose inducer (Group 3); or (d) bacteria expressing mutant CsgA comprising pAzF in the presence of arabinose inducer (Group 4). For the groups of mice receiving bacteria (Groups 2-4), unlabeled bacteria were administered by oral gavage at day 0. Mice were continuously administered pAzF in water.
- mice from Groups 2 and 4 were also administered the arabinose inducer. Subsequently (day 1), mice in all groups were administered Cy5-DBCO by gavage and no longer administered pAzF and arabinose (as applicable) 2 hours prior to administration of Cy5-DBCO. Mice were imaged using the VIS Lumina II system (PERKIN ELMER) to detect the clearance rate of the dye alone as well as the labeled bacteria. As shown in FIG. 24, a difference in the residence time was observed between mice administed the Cy5-DBCO dye alone (Group 1) and mice administered both Cy5-DBCO and bacteria expressing mutant CsgA comprising pAzF in the presence of arabinose inducer (Group 4).
- VIS Lumina II system VIS Lumina II system
- the Cy5-DBCO dye was no longer detectable after about 24 hours in the mice of Group 1, while fluorescence was detectable for an extended period of time (> 35 hours) in the majority of mice of Group 4, indicative of labeling of the the engineered bacteria. The differences in fluorescence residence time was statistically significant (see FIG. 25).
- mutant CsgA comprising pAzF were detectable in some of the isolated bacteria. Not all of the bacteria retained the ability to express mutant CsgA comprising pAzF which may be due to the loss of the plasmid encoding the mutant CsgA protein, and/or the plasmid encoding the OTS.
- mice were sacrificed and the gastrointestinal tract was imaged using the IVIS Lumina II system (PERKIN ELMER). As shown in FIGs. 27A and 27B, a significant difference was observed in the level of fluorescence detected in mice receiving the control untransformed PBP8 bacteria and mice receiving bacteria expressing the mutant CsgA comprising pAzF. Non-specific binding of the Cy5-DBCO dye was detected in the gut.
- mice were administered PBP8 cells expressing either mutant CsgA comprising pAzF and the OTS, arabinose inducer, and pAzF.
- a group of mice were not treated with bacteria, nor administered pAzF and arabinose.
- the gastrointestinal tract tissue was collected from the mice and imaged using the IVIS Lumina II system (PERKIN ELMER) (see FIGs. 28 and 29). The cecal tissue was isolated and homogenized.
- HFIP:TFA to disassemble aggregated curli fibers.
- Cy5-DBCO-labelled mutant CsgA was detected in the soluble fractions of untreated cecum homogenate of every mouse to which bacteria expressing mutant CsgA comprising pAzF was administered, but not in the cecum homogenate from mice not administered bacteria.
- a six-histidine tag (HisTag) was added to the C-terminus of CsgA to allow for immunodetection (pBbB8k-WT).
- a control plasmid was constructed by cloning the malE gene encoding for the maltose binding protein (MBP) from the W3110 genome into the pBbB8k plasmid under the control of the araBp promoter (pBbB8k-MBP).
- a mutation encoding for the amber stop codon was inserted within the open-reading frame of CsgA (pBbB8k-Mut) or MBP (pBbB8k-MBPMut) using site-directed mutagenesis.
- the pEVOL-pAzF plasmid was used as orthogonal translation system (OTS).
- E. coli strain derived from E. coli Nissle 1917 (ECN).
- PBP8 strain was constructed using the lambda red recombineering method as previously described (see Datsenko and Wanner (2000) Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Set USA 97(12): 6640-5). Briefly, the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) cassette was constructed with 500 bp homology arms upstream and downstream of the curli operon using SOEing PCR. The CAT cassette was transformed into electrocompetent EcN with pre-induced lambda red genes from pKD46 plasmid using 0.5% arabinose during the growth step of electrocompetent cell preparation.
- CAT chloramphenicol acetyltransferase
- Transformants were expanded using SOC media at 30°C shaking incubator for 3 hours to promote the genomic replacement of the curli operon with the CAT cassette. Transformants were then plated onto LB agar plates containing 25 ⁇ g/mL chloramphenicol and incubated overnight at 37 °C. Colonies that were resistant to chloramphenicol were selected and verified for knockout of the curli operon by colony PCR and genomic DNA sequencing as compared to wild-type EcN.
- PBP8 cells transformed with a pBbB8k plasmid were streaked onto lysogeny broth (LB) agar plates containing 50 ⁇ g/mL kanamycin.
- PBP8 cells transformed both with a pBbB8k plasmid and with the OTS plasmid were streaked onto Luria Broth (LB) agar plates containing both 50 ⁇ g/mL kanamycin and 50 ⁇ g/mL spectinomycin. Colonies were picked from the plates and 5 mL cultures were inoculated (in LB containing the appropriate antibiotics). Cultures were grown overnight at 37°C.
- the overnight cultures were diluted 100-fold in fresh LB medium containing the appropriate antibiotics, and cultured at 37°C until they reached an optical density (OD) at 600 nm of 0.6 to 0.8.
- Arabinose was added to the bacterial cultures at a final concentration of 0.05 % to induce protein expression.
- the NSAA 4-azido-L-phenylalanine (pAzF) was also added to the cultures to a final concentration ranging between 1 mM and 5 mM. Higher concentrations of NSAA affected cell growth. Protein expression was allowed to occur at 37°C overnight.
- Bacterial cells were grown in LB overnight, diluted 1: 100 in fresh LB, and grown in 1 mL-well 96 wells plate at 37 °C and shaken at 900 rpm. Once the culture reached an optical density (OD) of 0.6, measured at 600 nm (optimal for protein expression), the cultures were again diluted 1: 100 in fresh LB in a 250 mL 96 well plate. Half of each cell culture was induced with 0.05% arabinose and incubated with 5 mM NSAA. The other half of the cell culture was used as negative control and were not induced with arabinose nor exposed to NSAA. Bacterial cells expressing either the curli operon, or MBP as control, were used.
- Samples were dried in a critical point dryer, placed onto SEM sample holders using silver adhesive (Electron Microscopy Sciences), and sputtered until they were coated in a 5 nm layer of Pt/Pd. Imaging was performed using a Zeiss Ultra 55 Field Emission SEM.
- This wash step was repeated 3 times to remove any unbound dye. Labeling was assessed by spotting 10 ⁇ of labeled cells at OD 1 on a nitrocellulose membrane and detecting the fluorescence of Cy5 using a FluorChemTM M system (Protein Simple). Flow cytometry was used to determine the fraction of cells that were labeled.

- Pre-labeled bacterial cells were pelleted at 4,000 x g for 20 min, and resuspended in lysis buffer (50 mM phosphate buffer, 100 mM NaCl, 7 M guanidinium hydrochloride). A protease inhibitor cocktail was added, and the suspension was stored at - 20 °C overnight. The suspension was thawed on ice, and sonicated to fully lyse the cells (40% amplitude, 3 x 25 seconds ON, 35 seconds OFF). After centrifugation at 10,000 x g for 30 minutes, the supernatant was applied to a NiNTA column and incubated 2 hours with agitation at room temperature in the presence of 10 mM imidazole.
