Usage and Biology

SID (TEV site linker included) VP16 activation domain is a sequence that includes SID linker from SALSA protein,Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) protease recognition site (Nam et al., 2020) and VP-16 activation domain, which is a transcription factor of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 that is involved in the activation of the viral immediate-early genes (Hirai et al., 2010). SIDs are roughly 20-amino-acid-long threonine-serine-proline-rich stretches consisting of a number of glycosylation sites that proposedly render the linkers to extended conformation, spanning 7 nm (Reichhardt et al., 2020; Turenchalk & Xu, 2001). TEV linker codes for the sequence of amino acids ENLYFQG/S, which TEV protease recognizes and cleaves between Q and G/S (Nam et al., 2020). VP16 is involved in the activation of the viral immediate-early genes (Hirai et al., 2010). It was acquired from the DualMembrane Kit 3 (Thaminy et al., 2003).
