Composite

Part:BBa_K4006013

Designed by: Margaret Cook   Group: iGEM21_ASU   (2021-10-21)


MT-6XHis-IEE5-arsC-HA-IEE2-FLAG-fTNa

Background

This composite part includes coding sequences for the proteins metallothionein, arsenate reductase, and the protein ferritin, all codon optimized for use in the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast. They were also each tagged with a different epitope tag, for the eventual purpose of protein expression evaluation by Western blot. The intention was for them to work synergistically to improve the uptake of arsenic out of contaminated water.

Cloning into E. coli and Verification

The constructs were designed by our team and produced by IDT. They were transformed into 10-Beta competent E. coli cells from NEB. The “Tagged” sequence, MT/6xHIS-IEE2-ArsC/HA-IEE5-FtnA/FLAG, was designed by our team and produced in two parts by IDT. However, our team did not have any success cloning this construct via golden braid. This may be due to the presence of IEE2, which is also present in the pASapI backbone. We were unable to confirm cloning via restriction digest and often did not get significant results from the transformation into 10-beta competent E. coli cells. Sequence and Features
