NicTAL12:NLS DNA binding domain

Introduction

TAL effectors (TALEs) are bacterial plant pathogen transcription factors, that bind to DNA by specifically recognizing one base pair with a single tandem repeat in their DNA-binding domain. A tandem TALE repeat contains 33 to 35 amino acids, where the 12th and 13th amino acid, called a “repeat variable diresidue” (RVD), are responsible for specific interactions with the corresponding base pair (Scholze and Boch, 2011).

Characterization

We found out NicTAL part deposited in the Registry by the Slovenian iGEM2010 team was not functional. Part was missing subdomain in DNA-binding domain, so [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Slovenia our team] added the missing part on N terminal sequence. Apart from adding N terminal sequence, we added HIS tag on N terminal end and NLS on terminal C end of NicTAL12 (Figure 2). This construct was later used for designing TAL-based activator and repressor by adding VP16 and KRAB domain.
