Design Notes

C-terminal tag. Degradation rate is moderately fast. Variations of this sequence yield different degradation rates(see Parts BBa_M0050, BBa_M0051, BBa_M0053). Sequence derived from reverse translation of AANDENYADAS sequence using codon usage optimized for E. coli. Three C-terminal aa's (DAS in this case) are necessary and sufficient for ClpX binding and degradation. Upstream aa sequence serves as a binding site for SspB, which guides rapid binding to ClpX. See sources on the main part page for further information about the mechanism of the system.

NOTE: this sequence has only the amino acid sequence for the tag and bears NO STOP CODONS, so be sure to include them if you use this sequence.

This variation of the SsrA tag was studied by McGinness, Baker, Sauer. 2006. Mol. Cell. 22:701. SsrA tags are prevalent in E. coli.
