IPTG induced promoter + GFP fused to a coiled coil

GFP with the E-coil at the N-terminus behind an IPTG induced promoter to use it as reporter for the E- and K-coil [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Wageningen_UR/Coil_system Plug and Apply system]

Usage and Biology

The E-coil present in this reporter protein is one part of the Plug and Apply (PnA) system consisting of a combination of E- and K-coil. These coils consist of α-helical repeats and have a strong affinity to each other due to electrostatic interactions (with K-coil positively charged and E-coil negatively charged). Using this system one can bind two proteins noncovalently but specifically to each other. This brick can be used for confirmation of the Plug and Apply system using E- and K-coils as well as for detection of proteins that can be fused to the K-coil.

The funcionality of the GFP in the fusion protein was tested and confirmed by observing fluorescence when exposing to UV light.

On the right side: before induction (sample taken from liquid medium); on the left side: after induction with IPTG (sample taken from a plate) - of each sample a picture was taken once with light microscopy and once with fluorescence microscopy'



To be able to use the device, the counterpart of the E-coil needs to be fused to the protein that needs to be detected.
