Design Notes

We decided to use Intimin' as this has been previously proven to function effectively for cell surface display of up to 30kDa passenger proteins (Wentzel et al., 2001). We included a linker between Intimin' and GFP and between GFP and SpyTag to facilitate mobility of GFP and SpyTag on the cell surface. The stop codon in GFP was removed for the generation of this fusion protein.

Source

Intimin protein sequence (E. coli) obtained from UniProtKB: [http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P43261#sequences P43261], reverse translated and codon optimised for E. coli. Intimin for the cell surface display of our tag was truncated according to Wentzel et al., 2001. SpyTag was obtained from: BBa_K1159201. GFPmut3b was obtained from: BBa_E0040. The DNA sequence was synthesised by Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT)
