Design Notes

The endochitinase will degrade the chitins in the yeast cell wall, leading to the yeast death. We need to control this process so it does not happen too early. TPS1 promoter can promote the coding gene expression efficiently with ethanol exits. It enhanced as ethanol concentration increased from 3% to 8%, which is suitable for the time-point (at the end of beer production) we want it to be expressed and secreted.Since the endochitinase needs to be released in the brewing environment to be effective, we choose the common secretion signal sequence “mating factor alpha prepro-leader (MF alpha)” to make the enzyme secretions become possible. Due to these reasons, the system can produce a secretable endochitinase at the end of beer production, which will not split the yeast too early.


Source

TPS1 promoter and Mating factor alpha prepro-leader (MF alpha) come from Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c.The chit42 coding sequence comes from Trichoderma harziana (CBS226.95). HA-tag sequence comes from the human influenza virus.
