Part:BBa_K1471005

AGS (Linker) - VP16 (Activation domain).

For this part, we fused the nine base pairs AGS linker subbmited by iGEM13_Freiburg and the Transactivation domain from the VP16 protein from the Herpes Simplex Virus, submitted by iGEM08_ESBS-Strasbourg.

AGS linker is a small sequence of aminoacids (3 aa). Its name is derived from the aminoacids components of its chain, wich are Alanine (A), Glycine (G) and Serine (S). It's widely used for fusind proteins domains in Tandem-like synthetic constructs.

VP16 is a transcription factor from Herpes simplex virus that activates the transcription of some viral late genes. In synthetic constructions, VP16 activation domain has probed to be effective at activating the expression of some genes when fused to an adecuate DNA-Binding domain.
