Igk leader sequence
Usage and Biology
The Igk leader is a signaling sequence, directing the protein into the secretory pathway (Feng et al., 2011). By adding this signaling peptide the protein of interest can be secreted in the supernatant after transfection and the basis for a proper protein folding can provided. Prior to secretion the Igk leader is cleaved of.
Characterization
In our project the Igk leader was added to three of our composite parts (BBa_K3117026, BBa_K3117030, BBa_K3117029) for the secretion of our desired proteins into the supernatant, after transfection into HEK 293T cells.
In Fig. 1 the western blot of the harvest of HEK 293T cells can be seen. Those proteins were detected via their His-Tag. The presence of the proteins in the supernatant shows, that the Igk leader was able to direct all three proteins into the secretory way.
By adding this signaling peptide the protein of interest can be secreted in the supernatant after transfection and the basis for a proper protein folding can provided. Prior to secretion the Igk leader is cleaved of. Igk leader is normally fused to the N-terminus of the protein of interest. The Team 2019 FAU_Erlangen used the Igk leader sequence to secrete their proteins (bispecific antibodies)after HEK293T cell transfection.
