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
  • Current Status: Complete
  • Future directions:
    • Make more universal, to work with all proteins
    • Optimize secretion-tag and nano-tag for fusion proteins






Secretion structure.png

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.

  • This part is composed of
    • BBa_K215100: Gene encoding prtD
    • BBa_K215101: Gene encoding prtE
    • BBa_K215102: Gene encoding prtF
    • BBa_K215103: BBa_K21500 + BBa_K21501 prtD + prtE
    • BBa_K215104: BBa_K25103 + BBa_K25102 prtD + prtE + prtF
    • BBa_K215105: BBa_K215104 + BBa_B0014 in PSB1AK3 prtDEF + Terminator
    • BBa_K215106: BBa_K215104 + BBa_B0014 in PSB3T5 prtDEF + Terminator
    • BBa_K215108: BBa_J23114 + BBa_K215106 (Medium Promoter + prtDEF-Terminator)
    • BBa_K215109: BBa_J23113 + BBa_K215106 (Weak Promoter + prtDEF-Terminator)
  • Current Status: In progress
  • Future directions:
    • Optimize RBS's
    • Move secretion sequence into new plasmid, not TetR
    • Try variety of cell lines.






Display structure.png

BBa_K215200 is a Display vector that will allow for the presentation of any protein onto the surface of a cell by fusing the protein to Outer Membrane Protein A (OMPA). The fusion protein contains a GS peptide linker to space the displayed protein away from the outer membrane and also contains a TEV protease site to allow for purification of the displayed protein.

  • This Part is composed of:
    • BBa_K215201: Display Vector with 5 trans-membrane OMPA
    • BBa_K215250: Coding Sequence for fusion protein scaffold, 1 trans-membrane OMPA
    • BBa_K215251: Coding Sequence for fusion protein scaffold, 5 trans-membrane OMPA


  • This Part is used in:
    • BBa_K215210: Display system (1 trans-membrane) in protein expression vector
    • BBa_K215211: Display system (5 trans-membrane) in protein expression vector
    • BBa_K215260: BBa_K215210 fused to Streptavidin
    • BBa_K215261: BBa_K215211 fused to Streptavidin
  • Current Status: In progress
  • Future Directions:
    • Use new CDS display vector to display streptavidin
    • Design monomeric protein to bind peptide sequence
    • Utilize other proteins on CDS to test for activity of other proteins
