Trypsin Fragment of Colicin E2 with B0034 and T7 Promoter

This part encodes the trypsin DNase fragment of colicin E2 with the RBS B0034 (part BBa_K1976048) and a T7 promoter.

Usage

The colicin DNase fragment is an active DNase and can be used for DNA degradation. The T7 promoter is an inducable promoter wich ensures expression of the so called miniColicin after induction with IPTG.

Characteristics

The DNase trypsin fragment of colicin E2 consists of 137 residues what conforms to about one third to colicin. We used only one of the three domains of colicin since the metabolic burdon would be significant smaller. This fragment differs to the part 50 in 5 additional amino acids since a trypsin digestion described in the literature leaded to this fragment. So we wanted to check out any difference in the activities between the DNase fragment with and without theese additional amino acids. The activity tests showed that the so called miniColicin has functional DNase activity.
