Part:BBa_K2306005

Cytosolic-abundant heat soluble protein 106094 (CAHS 106094)

This Biobrick features the gene sequence that encodes for the production of the tardigrade intrinsically disordered protein (TDP) "CAHS 106094". This is one of the several heat soluble proteins found in the tardigrades responsible for the ability of these microscopic animals to survive the harshest conditions. Upon desiccation, tardigrade proteins form a glass matrix capable of protecting other fragile biological components. Therefore, this tardigrade protein can be combined with other perishable biological material (e.g. proteins) to increase its stability against dehydration or even enable the possibility of stabilizing material with just a previous drying step. This BioBrick is featured in the composite part BBa_K2306010 combined with a T7 promoter BBa_R0010, a ribosome binding site BBa_k2306014 and a double terminator BBa_B0015 to control its expression.
