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 ecssrA(DAS+4) weakens a direct binding between proteases and ecssrA(DAS+4) and increases the dependance of sspB. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16762842]

mCherry- (Ec)ssrA(DAS+4)

The part contains the red fluorescent protein mCherry fused to the E. coli(ec)ssrA (DAS+4) tag.

biology

The (ec)ssrA tag is a short peptide sequence that can be fused to the C-terminus of proteins which should be degraded. The adaptor protein SspB binds to it and delivers the substrates to the protease ClpXP complex in E. coli. The mutation (DAS+4) in (ec)ssrA prevents the degradation of the ssrA-tagged protein without the presence of sspB and therefore makes the system more specific and controllable. [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]

application

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

The part was designed for proof of principle. Application as a bacterial fotographic film might be possible as well.
