Target structure.png

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.

This part is composed of:

BBa_K215000 -Protein Expression Vector BBa_K215001 -Fusion protein sequence


This part is used in: BBa_K215010 -GFP fusion protein BBa_K215011 -BBa_K215090 (organic phosphotriesterase) fusion protein BBa_K215091

Current Status: Complete

Future directions:

- Make more universal, to work with all proteins

- Optimize secretion-tag and nano-tag for fusion proteins

BBa_K215107 Is a BioBrick version of the Type 1 secretion system of Erwinia Chrysanthemi. It secretes proteins that contain the prtB C-terminus Epitote tag. To create a fusion protein with the prtB tag see BBa_K215002.

Future directions:

- Optimize RBS's

- Move secretion sequence into new plasmid, not TetR

- Try variety of cell lines.
