T7-ferritin-inka-Pak4cat-SV40 (poly A)
T7 promoter is a very specific promoter that is transcribed only by specific T7 RNA polymerase. The ferritin protein has been conjugated with iron, it functions as a novel hyperthermia material. The iBox-Pak4cat would allow a higher conjugation of ferritin protein. Here we choose to use SV40 (poly-A) terminator as a DNA sequence with transcription termination effect.

1. Ft-PAK4 protein crystals grow inside mammalian cells
Previous study has identified Inka1 as a potent inhibitor of PAK4, which contains two copies of the kinase inhibitory domain and these small regions of themselves can support PAK4cat crystal formation in cells [18]. When inka-box complexes with PAK4cat, conformational changes cause the complex to spontaneously crystallize, producing long rod-shaped crystals
We generated the iron storing construct driven by promoter T7 <a href="https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_I712074" target="_blank">(BBa_I712074)</a> by fusing ferritin to the N-terminal inkabox portion of the inkabox-PAK4cat(BBa_K3420001) plasmid, which we call Ft-PAK4(BBa_K3420003). HEK293 cells, human embryonic kidney cells 293, a specific cell line originally derived from human embryonic kidney cells grown in tissue culture, are commonly used in cell biology research, because of their reliable growth and propensity for transfection. HEK293T cells derived from the HEK293 cell line expressing a mutant version of the SV40(BBa_K2796012) large T antigen. Due to they can continue to express the SV40 antigen, the cells are often used in transfection experiments with high transfection efficiency. According to Baskaran et al., HEK293T cells transfected with the control inka-PAK4 plasmid grow with a single needle-like crystal. In our experiment, we can observe that Ft-PAK4 protein expression usually begins in 24 hours after transfection, but this only happens if a small amount of the control inka-PAK4 plasmid co-transfected, and their growth lasts around 48 to 72 hours.
