ScCBD_cex'V2 : a Cellulose Binding Domain, that enables the fixation of proteins to Cellulose

Description

ScCBD_cex'V2 (Cellulose Binding Domain) is a peptide that has a huge affinity for bacterial cellulose. When fused with another protein, ScCBD_cex'V2 enables the fixation of the protein on the bacterial cellulose. This version of ScCBD_Cex has been modified to avoid recombination with ScCBD_Cex'V1 in the yeast.

Construction

ScCBD-Cex'V2 was synthesised and its nucleotide sequence optimised for synthesis and expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This optimised sequence has been modified to avoid recombination with ScCBD-Cex'V1 in the Yeast. ScCDB-Cex'V2 protein is used in fusion with bioglue composite biobrick (Cp19k_MaSp1) in order to functionalise bacterial cellulose with sticky properties: BBa_K5143022
