GST-DocS

This composite part encodes for the Dockerin module (BBa_K3396000) tagged with a GST tag (BBa_K4165070).


Usage and Biology

The Dockerin S. module comes from the C. thermocellum scaffoldin and it could recognize and bind tightly to its complementary counterpart Cohesin 2. The Coh2–DocS pair represents the interaction between two complementary families of protein modules that exhibit divergent specificities and affinities, ranging from one of the highest known affinity constants between two proteins to relatively low-affinity interactions. This serves an essential role in the assembly of cellulosomal enzymes into the multienzyme cellulolytic complex (cellulosome), this interaction happens in two different forms, called the dual binding mode, in a calcium-dependent manner due to the presence of a calcium-binding site in the dockerin protein.

We used the DocS-Coh2 binding in our Snitch system to form the PROTAC pair that will conjugate E3 ligase trim 21 (BBa_K4165001) with the binding peptide for our targeted protein tau.
