R0010-BaCBM2-Cys

This composite part codes for the BaCBM2 protein with an additional amino acid (cysteine)(BBa_K53960003).

This part consists of the following basic parts:

Usage and Biology

This CBM2, or Carbohydrate-Binding Module 2, is a protein sourced from Bacillus anthracis. It belongs to a broader family of carbohydrate-binding modules that are crucial for the degradation of polysaccharides. These modules are important to break down complex carbohydrates, enabling microorganisms to convert them into usable energy sources.

Recent study [ ] has shown that CBM2 has the ability to bind to certain types of plastics, especially those derived exhibiting similar structural features of polysaccharides. This binding ability is largely due to the protein's carbohydrate-binding properties, which facilitate interactions with specific functional groups found on plastic surfaces.

The cysteine modification allows a strong interaction between the protein and our sensor surface, due to the affinity between the SH group and the Au(111) surface. This increase in interaction with our sensor is essential for amplifying the signal of microplastics in electrochemical measurements.

Part Generation

The BaCBM2-Cys is generated by PCR using as template the BBa_K5396000

The reverse primer adds the cysteine at the end of the sequence. Our plasmid was assembled using the Golden Gate Assembly with the following parts:

We transformed the plasmids through electroporation into the E. coli strain DH5α and confirmed the correct assembly by Sanger sequencing.
