BBa_K215002 Is a BioBrick part that was made to work in conjunction with the Secretion System (BBa_K215107). When used it creates a fusion protein, that contains the prtB secretion signal recognized by the secretion system. It also fuses to the protein a nano-tag that is able to bind Streptavidin, TEV protease site (for isolating your protein from the fusion) and Histidine Epitote Tags for easy protein purification.
