Strep-FluA-Middle Linker-Fok_a


This combination uses the benefits of an Streptavidin-tag for purification. It is also linked with a FluroescineA-tag. The Middle Linker (GlySerGlyGly)x2 connects the parts and adds additional space between them to guarantee the independent function of FluA tag and the protein domain Fok_a.



Usage and Biology

This composite part is one part of our universal endonuclease and it needs another composite part like BBa_K243012 to built to a functional heterodimer. The FluA tag leads the part to DNA which is hybridized with an Fluorescein labeled oligonucleotide. The middle linker makes a distance from 24bp between the FluA and the linked Fok_a protein domain. The StrepTag serve as purification tag for Streptavidin column purification.

We applied the Streptavidine-tag to enable a simultaneous purification of constructs with a His-tag. Strep-tag shows also a higher affinity towards Strep-Tactin than His-tag. For that the purification with Strep-tag is more specific. The used FluroescineA-tag allows the measurement by quenching and the coupling to an flurescein linked oligo. Emanating from our 3D modeling this combination of FluA tagged oligo and the construct containing the protein domain Fok_a is not that efficiently than the use of a combination of DigA tagged oligo with a construct containing Fok_a. To avoid interactions between the FluA-tag with the connected protein domain Fok_a we applied the Middel Linker. The Linker itself has no influence of the connected parts. We decided to use the Middle Linker for this construct to prove the optimal distance between the parts. It is important that the used linker has a certain flexibility and is long enough to avoid steric interferences between the parts. If the linker is too long it might cause a instability of the whole construct.
