Long 10AA Fusion Protein Linker with Standard 25 Prefix/Suffix
This is the longest of the three fusion protein linkers created by the Penn State 2011 iGEM team. It encodes for the ten amino acids GENLYFQSGG and has a prefix and suffix compatible with assembly standard 25. It is used in one of the variants of our Fast-Fusion protein reporter system.
This linker was used in a very interesting article, entitled “Positive feedback in eukaryotic gene networks: cell differentiation by graded to binary response conversion”. The work addressed the use of the linker in question in the construction of genetic circuits. Being represented as a spacer region in the resulting rtTA-GFP fusion protein, obtained by in-frame insertion of the translated region of yEGFP into the KpnI site of rtTA. It has also been cited in a patent relating to a fc Receptor (fcrn) linking peptides and uses thereof. Where it has been described as a simple 10AA long fusion protein linker comprising glycine and serine residues, it can be used for the formation of cyclic dimeric peptides.
