Part:BBa_K2549013

TEV protease

This part is a mutant TEV(tobacco etch virus) protease. The 219 residue of the wild-type TEV protease is mutated from serine to valine to remove autoinactivation and perform a more efficient catalyst[1]. TEV protease is one of the best-characterized enzymes of the viral proteases which have more stringent sequence specificity. We used it to build our IMPLY logic gate. It can also be utilized by other iGEM teams to create their own engineered fusion proteins cleavage system.
