pT7-CBDcipA-PlyF307-SQ8C

A cellulose binding domain (CBDcipA) from Clostridium thermocellum Cellulose scaffolding protein (CipA) which can be used to purify or attach proteins to cellulose, this part has a sfGFP fused to the CBDcipA. The part also has a flexible GS-linker (-GGGGSGGGGS-) with a thrombin site (-LVPRGS-, thrombin RS) added at the end, clevage with thrombin will add one glycine and one serine to the N-terminal of the C-terminal fusion protein of the CBDcipA. Also added a BamHI recognition sequence (BamHI RS) to enable changeable fusion protein to the CBDcipA. BamHI was chosen because its RS codes for one glycine and one serine, fitting it to the end of the thrombin site, BamHI can also be used with methylated DNA. This part has a Acinetobacter phage endolysin fused to the CBDcipA.

CBDcipA crystal structure

Figure X. Crystal structure of CBDcipA with a resolution of 1.75 Å which were solved by [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/PMC452321 Tormo et al. 1989]. PDB code 1NBC. In red from the left, W118, R112, D56, H57 and Y67, thought to be the surface which interacts strongly with cellulose.

Expression system

The part has a very strong expression with a T7 promotor (BBa_I719005) as well as a 5'-UTR (BBa_K1758100) region which has been shown to further increase expression in E. coli (BBa_K1758106), ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2676996 Olins et al. 1989]), ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23927491 Takahashi et al. 2013]). Both this part and the part were sfGFP was changed for AsPink (BBa_K3182000) showed great expression.
