MaSp2-3(1C3)

This is a 3-mer construct of MaSp2 constructed using Iterative Capped Assembly (ICA) protocols as outlined on the 2015 UCLA iGEM page [http://2015.igem.org/Team:UCLA/Notebook/Spider_Silk_Genetics/Protocols here]. This part is a coding sequence, with no regulatory elements present.

Usage and Biology

Native spider silk genes consist of many repeats of the MaSp genes, up to 100 repeats. The extensive repetition confers the properties of strength and elasticity that are commonly associated with spider silk threads. In order to examine the role of protein length and composition on the final properties of spider silk, we created this construct using Iterative Capped Assembly.

Usage

This construct was successfully amplified using the [http://2015.igem.org/Team:UCLA/Notebook/Spider_Silk_Genetics/ICA_Oligo_Sequences post-elution primers] after ICA. The results of the amplification are shown below.

Fig. 1 E-gel of post-elution primer amplification of ICA on M-270 beads. The expected size of the desired product is ~406 bp. In addition to the expected bands, there are bands present at ~100 bp and at ~750 bp.
