Part:BBa_K1051259

Construct the measurement pathway of K1051208.

Purpose

Construct the measurement pathway of K1051208.

Principle

SsrA degradation tag. In E. coli, the adaptor SspB tethers ssrAtagged substrates to the ClpXP protease, causing a modest increase in their rate of degradation. Which means, a variation of the WT SsrA tag sequence will accelerate the degradation of proteins when fused to their C-terminal. Thus the degradation rates are dependent on concentration of proteases and binding mediators. In order to fuse degradation tags freely on the C-terminal of protein, we add TAATAA to the tail of M0052 to construnt this K1051208.
We constructed the measurement pathway K1051259(contains J04500, K1051000 and K1051208) to test the rates of degradation of tagged proteins. J04450 was used as positive control because of the same promoter and fluorescent protein.

Measurement
