CoH2 (Cohesin)

Cohesin type 2 is an enzyme that binds to its counterpart DocS (BBa_K3396000) to form a protein pair used for the assembly of our PROTAC system.


Usage and Biology

The Cohesin 2 module comes from the C. thermocellum scaffoldin and it could recognize and bind tightly to its complementary counterpart Dockerin S. The Coh2–DocS pair represents the interaction between two complementary families of protein modules that exhibit divergent specificities and affinities, ranging from one of the highest known affinity constants between two proteins to relatively low-affinity interactions. This serves an essential role in the assembly of cellulosomal enzymes into the multienzyme cellulolytic complex (cellulosome), this interaction happens in two different forms, called the dual binding mode, in a calcium-dependent manner due to the presence of a calcium-binding site in the dockerin protein.

We used the DocS-Coh2 binding in our Snitch system to form the PROTAC pair that will conjugate E3 ligase trim 21 (BBa_K4165001) with the binding peptide for our targeted protein tau.

Dry Lab Characterization

Optimization

This part is considered as an improved version of the NUDT 2020 team part (BBa_K3396001), it is optimized to be suitable for expression in E. coli.

Modeling

Coh2 was modeled tagged once with GST and once with His, to purify it and compare its stability and expression yield with the two tags, the models were done using (Alphafold - Modeller - trRosetta - Rosettafold) and the top models were obtained from Alphafold and trRosetta ranking 5 out of 6 according to our QA code.
