*This part can be used as an inducible reporter enzyme.GFP was added to the N-terminus of C2,3O monomer. The C2,3O enzyme is an obligate homotetramer where all 4 subunits are required for its activity. By adding GFP at the N-terminus of the each monomer, tetramerization of the enzyme is blocked, thus rendering it inactive. This modification is important as it makes the system inducible. The cleavage of the GFP by TEV protease is the input inducer signal, means that Catechol dioxygenase monomers are released so that they can form the active tetramer.

  • This part can be used as an inducible reporter enzyme.GFP was added to the N-terminus of C2,3O monomer. The C2,3O enzyme is an obligate homotetramer where all 4 subunits are required for its activity. By adding GFP at the N-terminus of the each monomer, tetramerization of the enzyme is blocked, thus rendering it inactive. This modification is important as it makes the system inducible. The cleavage of the GFP by TEV protease is the input inducer signal, means that Catechol dioxygenase monomers are released so that they can form the active tetramer.
