Design notes

This part was codon optimized for expression in E. coli K12. Note that it contains a BsaI cut site which should be removed in order to apply it to Golden Gate assembly methods.

There is evidence in the literature that ferritin nanoparticles composed entirely of light ferritin subunits are less soluble in E. coli, in comparison to ferritin that is entirely heavy subunits or a mixture of the two (Lee et al., 2002).

Variation of subunit composition in ferritin can influence the iron uptake dynamics of the nanoparticle. To more closely match the natural uptake of iron, the iGEM Calgary 2013 team built heavy/light subunit fusions, forming ferritin nanoparticles with 12 disubunits. This method ensures a one to one proportion of heavy and light subunits in ferritin nanoparticles. Such fusions have proven expressible in E. coil (Dehal et al, 2010). Additionally, the Calgary team used this method to reduce N-termini on ferritin by half, to reduce the number of proteins fused to it and eliminate possible steric hindrance in the 3D space around ferritin.

The sequence for this part was inspired by X and generated using commercial synthesis. We synthesized BBa_K1189019 with a promoter, strong RBS, and fusion to a protein of interest in the 2013 iGEM Calgary project. The light ferritin subunit was biobricked from this construct using PCR and isothermal assembly.
