Part:BBa_K1763427

MaSp2-6(T7)

This composite part consists of the MaSp2-6 construct (BBa_K1763426) sublconed with a T7 RNA polymerase promoter and a strong RBS (BBa_K525998). This construct is intended to generate the MaSp2-6 construct in high quantities in E. coli with an inducible T7 RNA polymerase system.

Biology

The T7 RNA polymerase expression system has been developed for large scale protein expression in E. coli. Strains carry an inducible T7 RNA polymerase gene incorporated into their genome. This allows very specific induction of protein expression because the T7 RNA polymerase promoter is not found in E. coli.

A common laboratory strain for protein expression is BL21(DE3), which is what the 2015 UCLA iGEM team used in this project.
