This composite part consists of T7 promoter (BBa_K3633015), lac operator (BBa_K4165062), pGS-21a RBS (BBa_K4165016), 6x His-tag (BBa_K4165020), WAP inhibitor (BBa_K4165008), GSGSGS linker (BBa_J18921), seed peptide (BBa_K4165012), GGSGGGGG linker (BBa_K4165019), seed peptide (BBa_K4165012), GSGSGS linker (BBa_J18921), H1A (BBa_K4165000) and T7 terminator (BBa_K731721).

Usage and Biology

Switch 18 is used to mediate the activity of HTRA1. It is composed of 3 parts connected by different linkers; an HtrA1 PDZ peptide, a clamp of two targeting peptides for tau or amyloid beta, and a catalytic domain inhibitor. Activating HTRA1 requires a conformational change in the linker, eliminating the attached inhibitor from the active site. The conformational rearrangement can be mediated through the binding of affinity clamp to tau or beta-amyloid. This binding will result in a tension that detaches the inhibitor from the active site.

Modeling

The switch was modeled by (Alphafold - Rosettafold - tRrosetta) and the top model was obtained from tRrosseta with a score of 4 out of 6 according to our quality assessment code.

Mathematical modeling

Transcription rate and translation rate under T7 promotor

the mathematical modeling was based on our code for the calculation of transcription and translation (you can find it in the code section) beside with the estimated results from the wet lab.


                Figure 3. this figure shows the results from the transcription and translation code showing the 
                                  variation of mRNA and protein concentrations with time.
