Design Notes

The tag was attached to GFP using PCR and MABEL (mutagenesis with blunt-end ligation), thus avoiding introduction of additional residues and restriction site. Different parts of the tag are recognized by different proteins, for example, the final 3 residues (LAA in this case) are recognized by ClpX, whereas first 4 residues of the tag are required for efficient SspB binding.[1] Thus modifications of these critical residues alter the efficacy with what different proteases bind to it.


Source

GFP comes from Part:BBa_E0040, the tag sequence was obtained from Part:BBa_M0050.
