Construct the measurement pathway of K1051207.

Purpose

Construct the measurement pathway of K1051207.

Principle

SsrA degradation tag. In E. coli, the adaptor SspB tethers ssrAtagged substrates to the ClpXP protease, causing a modest increase in their rate of degradation. Which means, a variation of the WT SsrA tag sequence will accelerate the degradation of proteins when fused to their C-terminal. Thus the degradation rates are dependent on concentration of proteases and binding mediators. In order to fuse degradation tags freely on the C-terminal of protein, we add TAATAA to the tail of M0051 to construnt this K1051207.
We constructed the measurement pathway K1051258(contains J04500, K1051000 and K1051207) to test the rates of degradation of tagged proteins. J04450 was used as positive control because of the same promoter and fluorescent protein.

Measurement

The growth curve of E. coli. From right to left, the negative control,BBa_K1051257, BBa_K1051258, BBa_K1051259, J04450 as Positive Control. As the pictures showed, the lights of RFP within three degradation tags are decreasing.

The test results of BBa_K1051258. A:No exciting lights; B. Powerful exciting lights; C. Weak exciting lights. In picture, there are only obvious lights in the picture B, indicated the degradation rates are working The test results of BBa_K1051258 in chip. A,LB medium,O minuts; B, IPTG medium,9minutes; C,IPTG medium, 15 minutes
