Sialidase composite with T7 promoter and RBS

Introduction

This biobrick is a constitute of T7 promoter and RBS followed by sialidase enzyme coding site. Sialidase enzyme has the potential to digest terminal sialic acids in a glycoprotein. The sequence originates from the species Arthrobacter Ureafaciens.

Usage and Biology

Sialidase enzyme can hydrolyze glycosidic linkages of terminal sialic acid residues in glycoproteins. Following image represents the reaction mechanism of an active enzyme.

Molecular cloning

Ligation of sialidase composite insert into pSB1C3

The gblock containing T7 promoter-RBS-sialidase was ligated into the Chloramphenicol plasmid backbone (pSB1C3). Preliminary confirmation of cloning was done by double digest Ecor1 and Pst1. Figure 1 represents the double digestion result: bands were visible at ~1600 bp and ~2000 bp which represents the insert and plasmid backbone respectively.
