BMC shell protein with GFP fused pduP1~18 tag

RBS(B0034)-pduABJKNU-Term(B0015)-P(J23102)-RBS(B0034)-pduP1~18-GFP-Term(B0015)

BBa_K317041 a BMC shell protein was combined to BBa_K317030 a PduP protein with the N-terminal ends known to be needed to be taken into Pdu micro bacterial compartment(BMC), fused to green fluorescent protein we construted in iGEM2010.

The pdu operon from Citrobacter freundii encodes six shell proteins (PduA, -B, -J, -K, -N, and -U) of the propanediol utilization microcompartment.

PduP (propionaldehyde dehydrogenase) protein with the N-terminal ends is known to be needed to be taken into Pdu BMC. The short N-terminal peptide is necessary for packing enzymes into the pdu BMC. It has been reported that the deletion of 10 or 14 amino acids from the N terminus of the enzyme resulted in impaired packaging. On the other hand, fusion of the 18 N-terminal amino acids from PduP to GFP, GST, or maltose-binding protein resuted them to be encapsulated in BMC. The PduP1~18 protein can be fused to an aiming compound which can then be brought into the BMC.
