Part:BBa_K883161

CCMV_Negative core antigen with IPTG induced promotor

This construct produces CCMV core antigen subunits. The subunits have been modified in such a way that they will fold into CCMV Virus-Like Particles that have a negative interior. This was done by replacing 6 Arginine and 3 Lysine residues at the N-Terminus with Glutamic acid residues. The promotor and RBS that have been added to the gene allow induced expression of the subunits which increases the yield. The full protocol for this construct can be found on the [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Wageningen_UR Wageningen_UR 2012 Wiki].

*Safety notice*

This part is isolated from a virus and, when assembled, will form particles that very much resemble this virus in size and shape. However, no additional viral information is stored in this part and viral infection and/or replication can therefore be ruled out. It is completely safe for use in normal laboratory circumstances.
