L2NC-linker Silica tag (N-terminal)

This part is not compatible with BioBrick RFC10 assembly but is compatible with the iGEM Type IIS Part standard which is also accepted by iGEM.

Usage and Biology

L2NC-linker is Part BBa_K3946002 but with the addition of a short linker (GSEGKSSGSGSESKST). L2NC is a truncated version of the L2 ribosomal protein from E. coli, designed for fusion to C-terminal of a protein using JUMP assembly. This tag contains just the N and C-terminal regions of L2 which were shown to have silica binding capacity in previous experiments, therefore allowing the use of a smaller tag without compromising on binding affinity. The attachment of L2NC-linker silica tag on the C-terminus of the functional enzyme would result in the 15.69 kDa increasement in weight. From literature, the dissociation constant between L2NC silica tag and silica beads is 1.7nM.
