our secretion system, we are using two genes with different sizes as
 +
our target
 +
secretion genes, GFP being short in length and Luciferase being
 +
comparably long

would test our secretion system and its ability to secrete small and

large

proteins. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Testing multiple different combinations;

Signal

Sequence alone, Signal Sequence plus ompA/INPNC and ompA/INPNC alone,

would

help us find the best combination for our secretion system based on

their

secretion ability and rank them from strongest to weakest in strength

(in this

Adding Secretion

 

Adding Secretion:
General model for secretion     Secretion Models     Why test different genes

General model for secretion system:


Advantages of having several models:

       In our secretion system, we are using two genes with different sizes as our target secretion genes, GFP being short in length and Luciferase being comparably long would test our secretion system and its ability to secrete small and large proteins.
      Testing multiple different combinations; Signal Sequence alone, Signal Sequence plus ompA/INPNC and ompA/INPNC alone, would help us find the best combination for our secretion system based on their secretion ability and rank them from strongest to weakest in strength (in this specific system).



Secretion Models:

Why test different genes in our secretion system?

     There is wide range of genes present in our environment. Therefore, it is important to measure our secretion system’s ability to secrete genes of various sizes.
