Part:BBa_K4035000

Expression of CUP1 on the extracellular membrane of S. cerevisiae

This part is made of the Gal1 promoter (BBa_J63006), the A-agglutinin-binding subunit Aga2 (BBa_K416000) linked to the CUP1 copper metallotionein protein 1 (BBa_M45090) and the V5 tag (BBa_T2020).

USage and Biology

Copper metallotionein CUP1 (BBa_M45090) is a protein responsible for copper binding protein in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Normally expressed intracellularly, CUP1 was fused to the A-agglutinin-binding subunit Aga2 (BBa_K416000) in order to be displayed on the outter yeast cell surface. This fusion protein also contained a V5 tag in order to check its expression by Western Blot and Immunostaining. The expression was under the control of the Gal1 promoter, so that the protein was expressed only in the presence of galactose.
