Part:BBa_K4165010

Designed by: Esraa Elmligy   Group: iGEM22_CU_Egypt   (2022-09-29)


Human serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 8 (SPINK8)

This basic part encodes Human serine protease inhibitor known as SPINK8 which is able to inhibit trypsin-like proteases like serine protease HtrA1 (BBa_K4165004).

Usage and Biology

This type of family encodes inhibitors that is predicted to be able to inhibit serine peptidases. The inhibitor is present extracellularly and binds to trypsin-like proteases (serine proteases) and since the catalytic core of HtrA1 (BBa_K4165004) is considered as a trypsin-like catalytic domain, so this inhibitor also is considered to inhibit the function of HtrA1.

Modeling

This inhibitor was modeled using different software (trRosetta - AlphaFold2 - RosettaFold - Modeller) and the top model was acquired from trRosetta ranking 6 out of 6 according to our Quality Assessment code.

Mathematical modeling

Transcription rate and translation rate under T7 promotor

the mathematical modeling was based on our code for the calculation of transcription and translation (you can find it in the code section) beside with the estimated results from the wet lab.


               Figure 3. this figure shows the results from the transcription and translation code showing the 
                    variation of mRNA and protein concentrations with time compared with the wet lab results.
