T7 Promoter+RBS+Sf1a+GS linker+snowdrop-lectin+linker+6X His-Tag

NCTU_Formosa 2018 designed this sequence to improve the part from NCTU_Formosa 2016.

We changed the general linker to a GS linker to optimize the function of Sf1a.


Previous Part:(BBa_K1974022)

The existing part from NCTU_Formosa 2016 contains the IPTG induced PT7 (BBa_I712074), strong ribosome binding site (BBa_B0034), Sf1a, AAA linker, snowdrop lectin (BBa_K1974020) and the 6X His-Tag (BBa_K1223006).


Figure 1. Previous part


Improvement part

In many application, the fusion proteins consisting of multiple protein domains is a popular and highly successful approach to engineering new protein functions. The linker that connects the fusion protein often plays an important role in fusion proteins. Therefore, we decided to change the linker between Sf1a and lectin to try whether the function of this protein become stronger. The GS linker we used in this improvement part was also provided by NCTU_Formosa 2016. It contained 18 amino acid sequence, which is a Gly-Gly-Ser repeated linker. We utilized this linker to optimize the fuction of Sf1a and lectin.

Introduction

μ-segestritoxin-Sf1a is kind of insecticidal toxin, contains three disulfide bonds. It will inhibits insect voltage-gated sodium channels by blocking the channel pore.

Lectin is carbohydrate-binding proteins, and is able to bind soluble ectracellular and intercellular glycoproteins.


Target Insect

Result

1. Comparison of Plant Protecting Effect of Different Design of Linker between Protein Sf1a and Lectin

(I): Fusion proteins with GS linker (Improvement part BBa_K2599016 ); (II): Fusion proteins with AAA linker (Previous part BBa_K1974022); (III): Negative control group of Rosetta gami DE3 solution. After feeding for 7 hours, leaves area of (I) remained unchanged compared with leaves remaining area after 3 hours; While leaves of (II) and (III) was continued consumed by larva. Through comparison, improvement group (I) is more effective in protecting leaf from larvae consuming than previous part (II).
