Intimin domain for surface display (with anti-E epitope tag)

This protein contains the N-terminal domain of intimin, which is a bacterial adhesion factor, D0 an Ig-like protein, and an E epitope tag. Intimin is a β-barrel transmembrane domain that anchors the construct into the outer membrane of the bacteria.



Usage and Biology

Intimin, a bacterial adhesin, is an outer membrane protein used in bacterial display systems, and it consists of three regions: signal peptide, passenger domain, and a conserved, C-terminal translocator domain. This has a characteristic 12-stranded β-barrel structure, while the passenger domain acts as an autochaperon, which is absent in this part, except its initial region, D0. The structure of the barrel allows it to be an anchor in the membrane and proteins can be fused to it. Intimin have been used in several E.Coli based display systems. In this part, E-tag is fused to this protein, which is a 13 aa long peptide sequence, commonly used in biological applications to label proteins. Therefore, this construct could be labeled by immunostaining.
