Part:BBa_K627012
Fusion of TorA sig-seq, TEV protease cleavage site and b-lactamase
This construct contains the cleavage site for the TEV protease flanked by the sequence of beta-lactamase and the TorA signal sequence for the TAT (twin arginine transporter) pathway, thus in case of the expression of the complete construct the beta lactamase can be transported into periplasm and provide ampicillin resistance. The TorA signal-sequence originate from the enzyme Trimethylamin-N-Oxid-Reduktase , which needs to be folded in the cytoplasm. The beta lactamase is an enzyme which cleaves lactam rings and makes bacteria resistant to antibiotics like ampicillin and penicillin. The cleavage site for the TEV protease was created via oligo hybridization and ligated into the construct with cleavage site for XhoI and NheI, which makes this part modular and easy adaptable for any other protease.
