Affibodies are small (6 kDa), soluble high-affinity proteins. They are derived from the IgG-binding B domain of the Staphylococcal protein A, which was engineered to specifically bind to certain peptides or proteins. This so-called Z domain consists of an antiparallel three-helix bundle and is advantageous due to its proteolytic and thermodynamic stability, its good folding properties and the ease of production via recombinant bacteria (Nord et al., 1997). Affibodies can be used for example for tumor targeting (Wikman et al., 2004) and diagnostic imaging applications (Orlova et al., 2006; Orlova et al., 2007). The ZEGFR:1907 Affibody was engineered to specifically bind the EGF receptor with an affinity determined to be KD = 2.8 nM (Friedman et al., 2008).

The EGF receptor is overexpressed in certain types of tumors, e.g. in breast (Walker & Dearing, 1999), lung (Hirsch et al., 2003) and bladder (Colquhoun & Mellon, 2002) carcinomas, and is therefore a suitable target for cancer imaging or therapeutic applications. Because of their good tumor uptake, and their property to become internalized into the target cells with an efficiency of 19 – 24% within one hour – compared to 45% of the natural ligand EGF - the ZEGFR:1907 Affibody was chosen for therapeutic applications by the Freiburg iGEM Team 2010 (Friedman et al., 2008; Göstring et al., 2010).<br><h2>References</h2>

Affibody Z-EGFR-1907

(BBa_K404302)

Affibodies are small (6 kDa), soluble high-affinity proteins. They are derived from the IgG-binding B domain of the Staphylococcal protein A, which was engineered to specifically bind to certain peptides or proteins. This so-called Z domain consists of an antiparallel three-helix bundle and is advantageous due to its proteolytic and thermodynamic stability, its good folding properties and the ease of production via recombinant bacteria (Nord et al., 1997). Affibodies can be used for example for tumor targeting (Wikman et al., 2004) and diagnostic imaging applications (Orlova et al., 2006; Orlova et al., 2007). The ZEGFR:1907 Affibody was engineered to specifically bind the EGF receptor with an affinity determined to be KD = 2.8 nM (Friedman et al., 2008). The EGF receptor is overexpressed in certain types of tumors, e.g. in breast (Walker & Dearing, 1999), lung (Hirsch et al., 2003) and bladder (Colquhoun & Mellon, 2002) carcinomas, and is therefore a suitable target for cancer imaging or therapeutic applications. Because of their good tumor uptake, and their property to become internalized into the target cells with an efficiency of 19 – 24% within one hour – compared to 45% of the natural ligand EGF - the ZEGFR:1907 Affibody was chosen for therapeutic applications by the Freiburg iGEM Team 2010 (Friedman et al., 2008; Göstring et al., 2010).

CMV

CMV promoter is derived from human Cytomegalovirus, which belongs to Herpesvirus group. All family members share the ability to remain in latent stage in the human body. CMV is located upstream of immediate-early gene. However, CMV promoter is an example of widely used promoters and is present in mammalian expression vectors. The advantage of CMV is the high-level constitutive expression in mostly all human tissues [Fitzsimons et al., 2002].

Long Linker ( Gly-Gly-Ser-Gly)x2

(BBa_K243005)

This part is a linker, it can be used to connect two parts and add additional space between them. That can be necessary to avoid interactions between these parts.

Capsid

(BBa_K404006)

The AAV capsid consists of 60 capsid protein subunits. The three cap proteins VP1, VP2, and VP3 are encoded in an overlapping reading frame. Arranged in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1:10, they form an icosahedral symmetry. The mRNA encoding for the cap proteins is transcribed from p40 and alternative spliced to minor and major products. Alternative splicing and translation initiation of VP2 at a nonconventional ACG initiation codon promote the expression of VP1, VP2 and VP3. The VP proteins share a common C terminus and stop codon, but begin with a different start codon. The N termini of VP1 and VP2 play important roles in infection and contain motifs that are highly homologous to a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) domain and nuclear localization signals (BR)(+).


ViralBrick 587-KO empty

The primary receptor of AAV-2 is the heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) receptor (Perabo et al. 2006). Its binding motif consists of five amino-acids located on the capsid surface: R484/R487, K532, R585/587. (Trepel et al. 2009). The positively charged arginine residues interact with the HSPGs' negatively charged acid residues. Opie et al. have shown that two point mutations (R585A and R588A) are sufficient to eliminate the heparin binding affinity in AAV2. (Opie et al. 2003). This ViralBrick has been created to introduce this knockout into other constructs. The biobricks with containing this knockout are annotated with „HSPG-ko“.
