Design Notes

T. maritima encapsulin surface display and cargo loading were previously shown in BioBricks BBa_K3111501 and BBa_K3111402. In these experiments we looked at how we can use these properties for the construction of a drug delivery platform.

To induce cytotoxic action, we proceeded with loading of the encapsulin system with a fluorescent photosensitiser protein, miniSOG (BBa_K3111032). Under blue-light illumination, miniSOG is activated and generates reactive oxygen species which are damaging to cells (1). To achieve this we cloned BBa_K3111501 and BBa_K3111302 together to construct the plasmid observed in Figure 1.

Source

This composite part is made of several protein coding regions:

  • DARPin929 is a de novo protein created using mutagenesis and ribosome display by A. Plückthun, in 2008. Sequence was taken from 4HRL on RCSB Protein Data Bank.
  • Encapsulin was isolated from Thermotoga maritima (strain ATCC 43589 / MSB8 / DSM 3109 / JCM 10099). Sequence was taken from 3DKT on RCSB Protein Data Bank.
  • miniSOG is isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana. Sequence was taken from FPBase (ID: ZZHSE).

All basic parts were sythesised by IDT.
