hofC
HofC is an inner membrane protein, a base for the generator of pilA. This part is in the part collection where we have 12 genes that code for the base generator of pilA.
The part collection includes: Parts that are different kinds of type 4 pilus: BBa_K3552000 BBa_K3552001 BBa_K3552002. Parts that are the generator of the type 4 pilus: BBa_K3552003 BBa_K3552004 BBa_K3552005 BBa_K3552006 BBa_K3552007 BBa_K3552008 BBa_K3552018 BBa_K3552019 BBa_K3552020 BBa_K3552021 BBa_K3552022 BBa_K3552023 BBa_K3552024 BBa_K3552025 BBa_K3552026 BBa_K3552027 BBa_K3552028 BBa_K3552029. Parts that are a complete circuit: BBa_K3552009 BBa_K3552010 BBa_K3552011 BBa_K3552012.
Our part collection can instruct other teams to designed new rechargeable pilus and substitution of different major pilin.

Usage and Biology
The hofC is from the hof operon encoding the generator of major pilin, the ATPase HofB and the platform protein HofC is localized at 3 min of E.coli map. The HofB gene is a ATPase motor which localized at the base of the pilin generator system in the inner membrane, propel the assembly of pilus and it interacts with the platform protein HofC and HofM component of the inner membrane anchored assembly platform complex that also includes HofN and HofO. The hofMNOPQ operon encodes the assembly platform complex connecting HofB ATPase with the secretin hofQ.
Characterization
One of the possibilities that limit the pili yield could be the coupling of the genetic sequence of pili generator (BBa_K3552006 BBa_K3552007 and BBa_K3552008). When the genes in the clusters overlap each other and share a same sequence, it could be extremely inconvenient for us to modify the gene sequence such as RBSs (ribosomal binding sites) and conduct codon optimization for biosynthetic engineering purpose. In order to improve the yield of pili production, we designed and carried out experiments to decouple these gene clusters into singular genes with optimization of RBS in front of each gene. We suggest that the reassembled pili generator of decoupled gene segments would not decrease or might increase the pili productivity.
