Design Notes

To improve our previous Mambalgin-1 part

We improved our previous Mambalgin-1 construct (https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1110003) for E. coli this year by removing extra base pairs that coded for a portion of the signal peptide segment. The new sequence produces the Mambalgin-1 protein without any signal peptide. Next, we added a TAC promoter, LAC operon, GST-Tag, and an HRV-3 protease site upstream of the Mambalgin-1 coding sequence. This increased the size of our target protein by 26 kDa, which made protein band detection much easier on SDS PAGE. Subsequently, the strategy solved our issues related to losing our protein band in the SDS PAGE dye-front.

The GST tag also allowed for affinity gravity column chromatography purification. In fact, the HRV-3 protease site made cleavage of Mambalgin-1 from the GST tag possible in our lab (we don’t have access to FPLC).

Uniprot research of Mambalgin-1 protein conducted:

  - Determined functional portion of protein sequence --> trim down unnecessary amino acids
      - Original protein sequence contains an initial signal sequence which was not included

The construct was submitted to IDT in minigene format.

Primers were designed to add restriction sites in order to remove the sequence from the plasmid.

-- Previous attempts with 2015 construct yielded questionable results. Protein of interest was ~9 kDa, which tended to get lost within the dye-front during SDS PAGE.
