Design Notes and Sources

We obtained the peptide sequence for DspB from Kaplan et al's original publication and converted it into a nucleotide sequence using IDT's Codon Optimizer, optimizing based on E. coli K-12's codon table [1].

The gene sequence for DsbA 2-19 was obtained from BBa_K729004, a part comprising DsbA 2-19 fused to the N-terminal of micrococcal nuclease made by [http://2012.igem.org/Team:University_College_London Team UCL 2012]. The part sequence was not annotated, and as such we ran a [http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/Blast.cgi?PROGRAM=blastp&PAGE_TYPE=BlastSearch&LINK_LOC=blasthome Protein BLAST search] using the part's translated sequence to identify the bases that coded for our desired peptide. The sequence for DsbA 2-19 was adopted as-is, without further codon optimization.

We fused the 2-19 peptide sequence of DsbA to the N-terminus of Dispersin B (BBa_K1659200) sequence without any spacer/linker peptide in between. A Hisx6 tag is added at the C-terminus for ease of protein purification using metal-affinity chromatography.
