Part:BBa_K2140000

StarScafold Prototype 1

These two parts contain the gene sequence for our Prototype StarScaffold. These prototypes contain a single 5 repeat antiparallel leucine zipper for dimerisation as well as a set of four inteins, which were chosen to cover a range of active temperatures. This allows the progressive build-up of macromolecular structures in an effort to form proteinaceous monolayers, filaments and potentially more complicated structures. Each segment is bookended by flexible linkers to prevent steric hinderance of segment folding. This is particularly a concern for the natural split inteins found at each end of the protein as they form a folded structure before interacting. However the same is not true for the artificial split inteins which should be more amenable to internal protein segments as this is part of their native full intein structure.
