Part:BBa_K2549009

split intein Cfa N

This part is the N-terminal fragment of Cfa. Split intein is a useful protein engineering approach to combine signals^[1]^[2]. Cfa is a consensus sequence from an alignment of 73 naturally occurring DnaE inteins that are predicted to have fast splicing rates. Cfa demonstrates both rapid protein splicing and unprecedented thermal and chaotropic durability. Besides, when the CfaN is fused to other proteins, it exhibits higher expression levels than other N-terminal fusions^[3]^[4]^[5]. CfaN is used in our amplifier to accomplish some complex logic functions. It can also be used by other iGEM teams to assembly their intein-based protein libraries.
