mCherry- (Ec)ssrA(DAS+4)-TT

Mcherry-ecssrA(DAS+4)-TT

construction

The part contains the red fluorescent protein mCherry fused to the ssrA (DAS+4) tag and a double terminator.

biology

The ssrA tag is a short peptide sequence, which is fused to the C-terminus of proteins, which should be degraded. It relates to the protease ClpXP complex in E.coli and it also allows the adaptor proteins SspB binding and delivering substrates to the proteases in order to make the process more efficient. The mutated ssrA (DAS+4) weakens a direct binding between proteases and ssrA and increases the dependance of sspB. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16762842]

mCherry is a red fluorescent protein with the excitation maximum at 587 nm and the Emission maximum at 610 nm. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15558047]

The double terminator stops the transcription at this point.

application

As we want to control protein degradation by controlling the function of SspB, we tag the red fluorescent protein mCherry with ssrA (DAS+4) to measure the degradation rate.

-===Usage and Biology===
-The ssrA tag is a sequence, which allows proteolytic enzymes to degrade them. It relates to the protease ClpXP  complex in E.coli and it also allows adaptor proteins such as sspB binding and delivering substrates to the proteases in order to make the process more efficient.
-The mutation ssrA (DAS+4) prevents a direct binding to the protease and ensures the dependance of sspB.
-The tagged protein in this case is mCherry, a red fluorescing protein. Degradation can be measured by the decrease of light intensity.
-It includes a double terminator 'TT', which interrupts the translation.
