pPVC promoter->pvc1-pvc12->pvc13_NTD-1*GGGSG-CKGGRAKDC-1*GGGSG -pvc13_CTD->pvc14-pvc16
A flexible linker which can influence the structure of tail fiber connected to the CKGGRAKDC.

Profile

Name: pvc1-pvc12,pvc13_NTD-1*GGGSG-CKGGRAKDC-1*GGGSG -pvc13_CTD,pvc14-pvc16
Origin: Synthetic
Properties: A flexible linker which can influence the structure of tail fiber connected to the CKGGRAKDC.

Usage and Biology

The system is a syringe-like macromolecular complex that inject protein payloads into fat cells by driving a spike through the cellular membrane.
The system contains a rigid tube structure housed in a contractile sheath. It is anchored to a baseplate and sharpened by a spike protein.
Different payloads can be load into the lumen of the inner tube behind the spike, form fusion proteins with the tube, or associate with the spike itself. After specific recognition and binding to adipocytes, it can cross the via sheath contraction.[1]
The linker 1*GGGSG on both sides of CKGGRAKDC can affect the function and efficiency of bond and recognition by affecting the structure of the tail protein.(Fig.1)

Figure 1.AlphaFold2 based prediction of engineered PVC tail fiber trimer structure.Structure of adipose-targeting CKGGRAKDC peptide-presenting PVC tail fiber with indicated linkers were shown.

Special Design

Use the CKGGRAKDC to target fat cells.
The different linker(1*GGGSG or 3*GGGSG) on both sides of the CKGGRAKDC can affect the structure and function of the tail protein. By altering the linker on both sides of the CKGGRAKDC, we explored the most suitable structure of the tail protein for recognition and bond. At the same time, because of the existence of linker, we can use Golden Gate to replace the sequences in the middle of linker more efficiently than enzyme cutting and enzyme linking.
