TEV protease with N-terminal 6x His-Tag under the control of the pT7 promoter
Introduction
TEV protease is a highly specific cysteine protease from the Tobacco Etch Virus. An improvement over BBa_K1319008, the protease can be expressed in strains with T7-polymerase and then purified with the help of the His-TAg for synthetic in-vitro circuits.

Usage and Biology
The (+)-strand RNA genomes are often translated by the host to polyprotein precursors, which are then co-translationally cleaved by therefore provided proteases into the mature proteins. One of these proteases was found in the plant pathogenic Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV). For scientists the TEV protease is a molecular tool to cleave of all sorts of protein tags precisely due to its sequence specificity. It recognizes the amino acid sequence Glu-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Gln-Ser and cleaves then between glutamic acid and serine. In our project, the TEV protease is a main component in the Intein-Extein readout, but also was used in the purification procedure of our Cas13a proteins.
