Part:BBa_K2333407

UNS J23100 sfGFP pdt A

This part is designed to facilitate easy measurement of the strength of protein degradation tag (pdt) A by measuring time to steady-state fluorescence values of sfGFP under the control of the strong constitutive promoter J23100. William and Mary iGEM 2017 used pdts as a method to control gene expression speed.This part was utilized to characterize the degradation properties of pdt A and confirm the fact that different pdts have different degradation strengths. See [http://2017.igem.org/Team:William_and_Mary/Results William and Mary's 2017 project] for more details This part is one of a series of easy sfGFP reporter pdt parts. Series range is from BBa_K2333401 to BBa_K2333406

Usage and Biology

Protein degradation tag A is the strongest of the 6 protein degradation tags that William and Mary 2017 characterized, and is associated with the E. Coli orthogonal protease mf-Lon (BBa_K2333011). Therefore this part would have the greatest degradation rate of the 6 protein degradation tags and it would reach steady-state fluorescence values the quickest. This part contains J23100 constitutive promoter, Bba_B0034 (RBS),pdt A, a double stop codon and Bba_B0015 Not understood (double terminator) in the William and Mary iGEM Universal Nucleotide Sequences (UNS) format. The sfGFP reporters have been codon-optimized for E. coli and feature a double stop codon for enhanced efficiency. In order to demonstrate that protein degradation tags operated similarily regardless of the tagged protein, sfGFP reporters that were analogous to the mScarlet-I parts Bba_K2333413 to Bba_K2333419 were built and characterized. This demonstrates that the protein degradation tags are modular and that they have differential strengths even when they are tagged on different proteins.
