cln2 PEST destabilization domain for rapid protein turnover

This biobrick can be fused to any protein of interest and enables careful control of protein level by increasing degradation rate.

This destabilization sequence for rapid protein turnover consists of the C-terminal domain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cyclin 2 (CLN2) gene. It has been shown that this region of the protein, which is rich in PEST motifs, leads to a destabilization of a protein. Hence this Tag can be used to increase the turn-over rate of a protein. In the article by Mateus and Avery: "Destabilized green Fluorescent protein for monitoring dynamic changes in yeast gene expression with flow cytometry" they show that addition of these 178 carboxyl-terminal amino acid residues changes the half-life of a GFP from 7h and down to 30 minutes.
