Ptac-TEV-Pc-RFP-CS-LVA

This is a composite part that is made by 2 other composite parts, Ptac-TEV (BBa_K4225008) and Pc-RFP-CS-LVA (BBa_K4225010). It is part of a degradation rescue system to amplify RFP fluorescent output.

RFP is tagged with a potyvirus SSRA C-terminal degradation tag LVA, which can be recognised and degraded by proteases ClpXP and ClpAP, which are endogenous in e coli cytoplasm. As a TEV cut site is placed in between RFP and the LVA tag, when TEV expression is inducted by IPTG, the LVA tag can be cleaved off, rescuing the RFP from degradation

The Degradation rescue system is an effective tool for amplifying the dynamic range of an output. As TEV Proteases have catalytic activity, a single molecule of protease can act upon many molecules of substrate as opposed to a transcription factor that can bind to only one site at a time

All constructs were successfully cloned, digestion checked and sequenced. The characterisation of degradation rescue mechanism using fluorescent assay is in progress.
