Adhesive elastin and suckerin-based multiblock copolypeptide with stimulus responsiveness and surface adhesion, self-assembled structure thereof, and application of injectable hydrogel as bioadhesive
View Patent ↗The present disclosure relates to an adhesive elastin and suckerin-based multiblock copolypeptide with stimulus responsiveness and surface adhesion, a self-assembled structure thereof, and application of an injectable hydrogel as a bioadhesive.
1 . A multiblock copolypeptide comprising:
a suckerin-based polypeptide (SBP); and
an adhesive elastin-based polypeptide (EBP),
wherein the EBP includes tyrosine (Y) and/or lysine (K), and wherein the SBP consists of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11.
2 . The multiblock copolypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the multiblock copolypeptide consists of any one arrangement selected from the group consisting of (SPB) n (EBP) m ; (EBP) m (SBP) n ; (SBP) n (EBP) m (SBP) n ; and (EBP) m (SBP) n (EBP) m ,
wherein n and m are integers of 1 or more, n is a number of repetitions of the SBP, and m is a number of repetitions of the EBP.
3 . The multiblock copolypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the EBP consists of
the amino acid sequence: Ile Pro Ala Xaa Gly Ile Pro Ala Xaa Gly Ile Pro Ala Xaa Gly Ile Pro Ala Xaa Gly Ile Pro Ala Xaa Gly Ile Pro Ala Xaa Gly (SEQ ID NO: 13);
wherein
each Xaa is selected from the group consisting of tyrosine (Y), lysine (K), isoleucine (I) and DOPA.
4 . A gene encoding the multiblock copolypeptide of claim 1 .
5 . A method for preparing a multiblock copolypeptide comprising:
(1) preparing a recombinant microorganism into which the gene of claim 4 is introduced,
(2) expressing a multiblock copolypeptide by culturing the recombinant microorganism; and
(3) dissolving the recombinant microorganism and purifying the multiblock copolypeptide through inverse transition cycling (ITC).
