Applications of BBa_K314200

Tse2 is a potent bacterial toxin and thus has many applications, with or without its immunity protein, Tsi2. One potential application is use as a biotechnology agent in the way that the CcdB, the Death Protein, is used.

Tse2 could also be combined with the T6SS to result in a system that targets this toxin into the cytoplasm of target Gram-negative bacteria. This is useful to create Gram-negative bacteria that have been directed to target other Gram-negative bacteria for killing in response to a user-defined signal.

If Tse2 is combined with a functioning Type 6 Secretion System and the antitoxin Tsi2 it results in a killing system that can be targeted to Gram-negative bacteria. This could be used in a probiotic application. This was the goal behind the Gram-negative portion of the [http://2010.igem.org/Team:Washington 2010 UW iGEM project].
