ChABC CDS
Chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) is a bacterial enzyme secreted by Proteus vulgaris , it degrades the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains of chondroitin sulfate proteo-glycans (CSPGs) to allow for axonal regeneration following spinal cord injuries.
This ChABC part is derived from PDB ID: 1HN0, and also encodes a 6xHis tag and a TEV cleavage site for protein purification via a Ni-NTA column.
ChABC can be administered in the form of microinjections to the glial scar that is formed during a spinal cord injury, to degrade GAG chains from CSPGs - which are inhibitory molecules to axonal regeneration.
Due to the thermal instability of native ChABC at physiological temperatures, 8 point mutations to confer thermostability at 37C were introduced before synthesis of part in its composite form by IDT.
These mutations are as follows:
- K194E
- A228K
- S274P
- N288D
- S343N
- K654D
- R670T
- Q781E
