Part:BBa_K3308001
BBa K3308001
Overview
The Pittsburgh iGEM team 2019 designed a modular protein circuit system consisting of split Intein-based logic gates. This composite part is an input of the proposed nested intein system. This system is composed of two-independent splicing events reconstituting function functional half of a nested intein. Each nested intein’s chain (N and C terminus) will be split at one location by another split intein rendering it nonfunctional. Consequently only splicing of the “inner inteins”, will reconstruct the functional intein that is fused to the desired extein. [5]In this system, the primary splicing events taking place at each split site of the nested intein halves, will serve an AND gate. Each AND is composed of two inputs, the N- and C- terminals of matching inteins.[1]
Design
This construct has the second half of the N-terminal of our IMPDH-1 nested intein. It uses the intein Npu DnaE to react with BBa_K3308000, the first half of the N-terminal, forming BBa_K3308004. Npu DnaE is a known robust intein with well characterized substitute N-1 and C+2 amino acid efficiency.
Usage
Each construct of the set was labeled with 6XHis tag, for the purposes of purification via Ni-NTA resin(1ul/mL of culture). Following the His-tag the composite part also consists of a Tev7 Protease binding site, indicated the three dashed lines. It is important to note that the addition of the tag and cleavage site was not expected to have any impact on the splicing mechanisms of the intein. This construct was induced and expected to react with BBa_K3308000 N1 to form the spliced product, the full terminus of the N- IMPDH-1 Intein BBa_K3308004
Results
Unfortunately, this part was unable to be Gibson Cloned correctly.
