Fusion of ferrtin subunits linked to DNA detectors
Ferritin is a protein shelled nanoparticle and is composed of a mixture of 24 light (BBa_K1189024) and heavy (BBa_K1189025) subunits. It is ubiquitous across eukaryotic and prokaryotic systems and is used to sequester intracellular iron (Chasteen et al., 1991). The 2013 iGEM Calgary used ferritin’s iron core as a reporter and its protein shell to scaffold DNA sensing TALEs as part of their project, the FerriTALE (see Figure 1).
