Design Notes
We wanted to be able to purify TEV with and without the mCherry, so we had the His tag on the other terminus of the protein.
'Compared with the time course curve of TEV-His6, we found that sfGFP-TEV-His6 Nd1–6 had different degrees of loss of catalytic activity. Among them, Nd2 had the closest curve to TEV-His6. Ranking the cleavage rate at 60 minutes, the second highest ranked Nd2 could digest around 66% substrate, which retained about 95% catalytic activity of TEV-His6.' (from reference below)
The TEV protease is an anti-self-cleavage TEV.
We used mCherry so it would be compatible with our parts K2450201 and K2450301, and easily observable with our fluorescent microscope as it does not have much spectral overlap with CFP and eYFP.
