HtrA1 Switch number 12

This composite part consists of T7 promoter (BBa_K3633015), lac operator (BBa_K4165062), pGS-21a RBS (BBa_K4165016), 6x His-tag (BBa_K4165020), SPINK8 Inhibitor (BBa_K4165010), GS Linker (BBa_K4165017), seed peptide (BBa_K4165012), GS Linker (BBa_K4165019), seed peptide (BBa_K4165012), GS Linker (BBa_K4165017), H1A (BBa_K4165000) and T7 terminator (BBa_K731721).

Usage and Biology

Switch 12 is used to mediate the activity of HTRA1. It is composed of 3 parts connected by different linkers; an HtrA1 PDZ peptide, a clamp of two targeting peptides for tau or amyloid beta, and a catalytic domain inhibitor. Activating HTRA1 requires a conformational change in the linker, eliminating the attached inhibitor from the active site. The conformational rearrangement can be mediated through the binding of affinity clamp to tau or beta-amyloid. This binding will result in a tension that detaches the inhibitor from the active site.

The seed peptide which is considered as an amyloid binding peptide is proved experimentally to inhibit the aggregations of amyloid beta through cell viability assays with a survival rate values nearly 100%. The H1A peptide was also proven to bind with the PDZ of HtrA1 experimentally. The last part which is the inhibitor which is mainly a serine protease inhibitor, and since our protease is a serine protease, so it will act and inhibit the Protein. The whole construction was similarly proved from literature.

Modeling

The switch was modeled by (Alphafold - Rosettafold - tRrosetta) and the top model was obtained from tRrosseta with a score of 6 out of 6 according to our quality assessment code.

Mathematical modeling

Transcription rate and translation rate under T7 promotor

the mathematical modeling was based on our code for the calculation of transcription and translation (you can find it in the code section) beside with the estimated results from the wet lab. 


                   Figure 3. this figure shows the results from the transcription and translation code showing 
                                the variation of mRNA and protein concentrations with time.
