Arabinose controlled protein degradation device
The purpose of this part is to control the expression of sspB, the degradation controller.
Mutations on ssrA degradation tags weakens the recognition of the tagged protein by ClpX. Modified versions require sspB adaptor protein for the degradation. Hence when sspB protein is expressed, the proteins tagged with modified version of ssrA tag are targeted for degradation, otherwise they remain stable (1).
This device is inducible by arabinose, therefore we can alter the arabinose levels to regulate the degradation of proteins tagged with the modified version of ssrA degradation tags.
Wild type E. coli ssrA tag is AANDENY-ALAA (SspB recognition site – ClpX recognition site).
As an example of the tag, we constructed Part:BBa_K174003 with Hin tagged with the modified version of ssrA tag below.
AANDENY-SENY-ALGG (SspB recognition site – SENY +4 Linker - ClpX recognition site)
However, it should also be noted that different degradation tags may have effect on the activity of different proteins (1).
