The Biobrick BBa_K929101 is an extended version of the Biobrick BBa_K929100 and is composed of the already existing human EGFR (ErbB-1) signal peptide (BBa_K157001), the scFv anti-EGFR-domain-3, a TEV recognition site (according to life technologies AcTEV TM Protease manual), the transmembrane domain: transmembrane domain of B-cell receptor with glycine-serine linker (BBa_K157010) and the enhanced YFP ( BBa_E0030) reporter. The composite part was derived by PCR assembly.

Signal peptide:
The human EGFR (ErbB-1) signal sequence fused to the N-terminus of a fusion protein with a transmembrane domain mediates the transport to the membrane.

Anti-EGFR scFv425:
The single chain fragment (scFV425) specifically binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) domain 3. It has a shortened N-terminal FLAG-tag sequence of five amino acids (DYKDE) for purification and detection.

TEV recognition site:
The TEV protease cleavage site permits the shift from surface presentation of the scFv antibody to a secretory scFv production on protein level. The TEV protease recognition site ENLYFQG is the most commonly used aa sequence for recognition by the 27kDA catalytic domain of Nuclear Inclusion a (NIa) protein encoded by the tobacco etch virus (TEV). This sequence is extended by a 3 aa linker at the N-terminal and a 2 aa linker at the C-terminal end.

Transmembrane domain of B-cell receptor with glycine-serine linker:
Helical single-span transmembrane domain of the B-Cell-Receptor with a flexible 3 aa linker at the C-terminal end. This part was designed for fusion to proteins or peptides that will be presented on the cells surface. A signal peptide at the N-terminal end of the fusion protein for membrane integration (e.g. part BBa_K157001) is highly required.

Reportergene: Enhanced YFP ( BBa_E0030)
Expression of the scFv fusion protein and its cellular localization can be monitored by the enhanced YFP signal with an excitation at 514 nm and an emission at 527 nm.
