Part:BBa_K4165233

His - UBE2N

This biobrick consists of T7 promotor (BBa_K3633015), RBS (BBa_K4165075), His 6-His tag (BBa_K4165020), UBE2N (BBa_K4165011), T7 Terminator (BBa_K731721), The His tag was attached to the UBE2N coding sequence to serve in the purification using NI-NTA column.

Usage and Biology

this part is a Ubiquitin-conjugating E2 ligase which has a role in the ubiquitination cascade for protein degradation. It has been used in this project to target and degrade both tau and Aβ proteins which are both considered the main causes of Alzheimer’s Disease pathogenesis.

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