split linker constructs: AC: gp41-8-GS linker-gp41-1

A-C Linker part

Overview

Figure 1: Reconstitution of exteins with linker dependent SceVMA splicing. We utilize high affinity controllable intein splicing to reconstitute a GS Linker bring together weakly associating proximity induced inteins SceVMA. Formation of this GS Linker will bring SceVMA terminals in close proximity to each other, increasing the effective concentration inducing the splicing o SceVMA to in turn form a fucntional extein(POI). Three orthogonal split-inteins A(blue), B (pink, C (green) are configured to splice a linker in series to form this linker

The Pittsburgh iGEM team 2019 designed two approaches to creating a intein based circuit system. The second system, we have name "split-linker", was inspired after we began designing nested intein cosntructs. We found that it was relatively difficult to identify good location to split an extein. The site at which the extein was split had to match a proposed flanking sequence necessary for the splicing of inteins adjacent to that extein [3].We find that there is a necessary comprimise between maintaining the extein sequence and maintaning the intein's flanking sequence. This system was designed to preserve the native flanking sequences of the exteins.

Design

Our work is largely inspired by literature on the "proximity induced" Sce VMA split intein.[2,4,6]. In the design process of this system we had to use orthogonal inteins; we referenced a recent discovery of orthogonal fast intein to utilize in this system [8]. We assume that the inclusion of flanking sequeence is suffiencient is preserving splicing of the linker[1] , and this was the main concept to prove because other different SceVMA linker system have data to support effective splicing following construction of the linker.

Usage

This part is inovled in three-lart ligation varient of this system. We expect that this construct splices with BBa_K3308032 and BBa_K3308033

Results

Unfortunately we were restricted on time to clone this contruct.
