ESR1: Estrogen Receptor 1 coding cassette (Composite part)
The TecCEM team 2022 designed the biobrick construct cassette for the IPTG inducible expression of the Human Estrogen Receptor Alpha (hERa), this is a receptor protein which aim in our biosensor project is to bind to endocrine disrupting chemicals. Therefore, we used the genomic coding sequence of Homo sapiens Estrogen Receptor 1 (ESR1) adding a linker (GGGGSC) to ensure its binding to chitosan and a histidine tag for a nickel column purification. Its expression was set under control of the T7 promoter and lac operator being inducible by IPTG. Finally, we added a periplasmic signal peptide Omp A. The whole sequence expresses the receptor protein with a linker, setting an specific rotation so that the ligand binding domain (LBD) to be in a reachable position. This ensures the correct positioning of the molecule and therefore, an efficient capture of the EDCs.
