Design Notes

This composite part was assembled from four basic parts that are part of the MocloMania collection. Due to the highly standardizes set of overhangs that all our basic parts comply with, assembly could be achieved by a simple Moclo ligation. Assembling this part was of great importance to our project's prospect, since our objective was to test our expression system by expressing, secreting and purifying recombinant SARS-CoV2-RBD.

Having the fusion protein secreted into the cell's exterior, the culture medium, allows for the RBD to undergo glycosylation while passing the secretory pathway. Since facilitating the production of complexly glycosylated proteins is a core motivation in our project, generating and testing L1 constructs like this is very beneficial to achieving our research goal. Furthermore, assembly of this part allowed us to verify the correct construction of its sub-parts.

Introduction of a fluorescent tag such as mCerulean allows for easy protein detection in the downstream activity assays conducted which examine the functional binding of the recombinant RBD to ACE2 receptors overexpressed in a transgenic human cell line.
