bla_frag2 (aa 200-290) Fusion Part

• second half of the split enzyme beta-lactamase TEM with stabilizing mutations
• NgoMIV / AgeI protein fusion part
• iGEM Team Freiburg 2007 and Jochen Hecky

Mutations: L201P, I208M, E212K, A224V, R275L (positions according to Ambler consensus) Split enzyme: the split site has been shifted by two aa compared to previous publications by the groups of S. Michnik and H. Blau.

L201P, located at N-terminus of helix H9, identified in a mutant after genetic selection for mutations compensating interface-disrupting mutations (Jochen Hecky, unpublished results).

I208M, located in the C-terminal half of helix H9, identified in mutants after genetic selection for suppressor mutations in the terminal truncation and circular permutation backgrounds, presumably improves van der Waals contacts across the domain interface.

E212K, located at C-terminus of helix H9, identified in a mutant after genetic selection for mutations compensating defects induced by circular permutation, presumably creates favourable electrostatic interaction to D209.

A224V, resides on second crossover loop, identified in mutants after genetic selection for exchanges compensating defects induced by removal of the first five amino acid residues of the mature TEM-1 protein (Hecky & Müller, 2005), improves hydrophobic contacts between crossover loop, C-terminal helix H11 and the underlying beta-sheet, reinforces domain interface.

R275L, located in N-terminal half of C-terminal helix H11, identified in a mutant after genetic selection for mutations compensating defects induced by circular permutation (Osuna et al., 2002), presumably acts by improving hydrophobic contacts between the C-terminal helix H11 and the beta-sheet underneath.
