Secretion tag from yeast α-factor mating pheromone (MFα1)

This part is the secretion signal peptide from the yeast α-mating factor. This signal peptide directs the secretion of the produced protein, and therefore allows the exportation of it. This peptides are cleaved once the protein is in the lumen of the ER.

To use this tag, attached it directly to your proteins CDS.

This parts was originally built to be used in [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Buenos_Aires iGEM BsAs 2012 project] to implement a cross-feeding regulatory system between two different yeast strains with specific auxotrophy.

Contribution Summary:

Team NUS_Singapore 2021 has successfully expressed GFP using this part to quantify the performance. Characterization of part performance was also done using a GFP reporter. Check NUS Singapore 2021 wiki to view more information: https://2021.igem.org/Team:NUS_Singapore/Results

Figure 1: Image of the media supernatant, resuspended cells and blank control media under gel visualizer blue light, media and supernatant are clearly fluorescent compared to the control media.

This part was placed at the N-terminus of a GFP reporter gene. The expression of the mFa-GFP fusion protein was controlled using a Gal1 inducible promoter (Figure 2).

Figure 2: mFa-GFP Assembly schematic of the construct used to characterize performance of this secretion tag.

GFP absorbance of the supernatant and cells of both induced and uninduced pGmFaGFP-H (BY4741) was recorded (figure 3) after 24 hrs of induction in galactose enriched yeast growth medium. Secretion efficacy of the GFP reporter gene was approximated to about 42%.

Figure 3: GFP absorbance of the supernatant and cells of both induced and uninduced pGmFaGFP-H (BY4741), after normalization to blank media. Induced cells secreted approximately 42% of the GFP, while uninduced cells produced and secreted significantly less GFP than induced cells.
