Introduction

CBD-CipA is composed of a nine-stranded beta sandwich with a jelly roll topology and binds a calcium ion. It further contains conserved residues exposed on the surface which map into two clear surfaces on each side of the molecule. One of faces mainly contains planar strips of aromatic and polar residues which may be the cellulose binding part. Further aspect are unknown and unique with this CBD such as the other conserved residues which are contained in a groove.

pT7-CBDcipA

A cellulose binding domain (CBDcipA) from Clostridium thermocellum Cellulose scaffolding protein (CipA) which can be used to purify or attach proteins to cellulose. The part also has a flexible GS-linker (-GGGGSGGGGS-) with a thrombin site (-LVPRGS-, thrombin RS) added at the end, clevage with thrombin will add one glycine and one serine to the N-terminal of the C-terminal fusion protein of the CBDcipA. Also added a BamHI recognition sequence (BamHI RS) to enable changeable fusion protein to the CBDcipA. BamHI was chosen because its RS codes for one glycine and one serine, fitting it to the end of the thrombin site, BamHI is also a cheap enzyme and can be used with methylated DNA.

The part has a very strong expression with a T7 promotor (BBa_I719005) as well as a 5'-UTR (BBa_K1758100) region which has been shown to further increase expression in E. coli (BBa_K1758106), ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2676996 Olins et al. 1989]), ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23927491 Takahashi et al. 2013]).
