Design Notes

This part's DNA sequence was derived from PDB 1HN0, and had its signal peptide sequence (amino acids 1-24) removed. A 6xHis tag + TEV site with upstream start codon were incorporated to allow for transcriptional initiation and subsequent protein purification via a Ni-NTA column.

Due to ChABC's thermal instability, a series of 8 point mutations derived from "Reengineering biocatalysts: Computational redesign of chondroitinase ABC improves efficacy and stability" (Hettiaratchi et al., 2020) were incorporated into the protein sequence.


These mutations are as follows:

  • K194E
  • A228K
  • S274P
  • N288D
  • S343N
  • K654D
  • R670T
  • Q781E


The DNA sequenced derived from this protein sequence was codon optimised for expression in E.coli K12.

A stop codon was added at the 3' end of the ChABC CDS to allow for translational termination during protein synthesis.
