LL-37
LL37 protein coding region. Stop codon is added on BBa_K1162006. LL-37 is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) from the cathelicidin family of antimicrobial peptides, isolated from the Human (Homo sapiens). It is a 37-residue helical peptide found throughout the human body, exhibiting a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity as well as a variety of immunomodulating effects (Dürr, Ulrich H.N., et. al 2006). It has the distinction of being the first and only cathelicidin member discovered from humans, and is extremely well studied and characterized for this reason. The peptide is produced via epithelial cells as well as leukocytes in places such as the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and the respiratory tract. This AMP is is cleaved from a larger protein, hCAP-18, in a series of modifications to yield its active form (Sorensen, O.E, et. al 2001).
2. Design
The heat-inducible RNA-based theromsensors are designed on the basis of the melting temperature of the minimum free energy structure, consisting of ASD (anti-SD) sequence, loop sequence and consensus SD sequence (5’-AAGGAG-3’). To optimize the thermosensors for the desired melting temperature, intensity and sensitivity, three structural parameters come into consideration: stem length, loop size and mismatches or bulges in the stem.
