Design Notes

Due to the use of a vector with the N. terminal pelB leader sequence (pET22(B)) and unknown contributions of the N terminal signal sequence to PETase activity, we wanted to avoid N-terminal hexahistidine tagging of IsPETase. We selected C terminal tagging to enable protein purification with a nickel-based resin (which binds the hexahistidine tag). The two mutations, W159H and S238F, were based on the PNAS publication by Austin et al, 2018 in which mutation of these residues was reported to enhance the catalytic activity of PETase.


Source

Protein sequence was retrieved from Genbank (NCBI) under GAP38373.1, corresponding to the sequencing of Ideonella sakaiensis strain 201-F6 by Yoshida et al (2016). This amino acid sequence was subsequently converted to DNA sequence using the EMBOSS-Backtranseq algorithm (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/st/emboss_backtranseq/) and codon-optimized for E. coli K-12. Mutations were created manually in Benchling.
