E. coli ssrA(DAS+4)-TT

The part contains the mutated E. coli(ec)ssrA (DAS+4) tag and a double terminator.

biology

The (ec)ssrA tag is a short peptide sequence that can be fused to the C-terminus of proteins which should be degraded. The adaptor protein SspB binds to it and delivers the substrates to the protease ClpXP complex in E. coli. The mutation (DAS+4) in (ec)ssrA prevents the degradation of the ssrA-tagged protein without the presence of sspB and therefore makes the system more specific and controllable. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16762842]

application

The (ec)ssrA(DAS+4) tag can be fused to proteins so that they will be delivered to the ClpXP protease and degraded.
