Part:BBa_K4165200

Trim21-(GGGGS)3-Coh2

This parts code for the trim21 E3 ligase having his PRYSPRY domain truncated (BBa_K3396007), fused to type 1 Cohesin module derived from Clostridium thermocellum cellulosome scaffoldin using Glycine serine flexible linker repeated three times to maintain part flexibility needed during target ubiquitination

Usage and Biology

this part is the main part in our Snitch system, it is supposed to bind to the protac which in turn will bind to tau protein. The hypothesis is when the binding occurs between the three parts, Trim21 will recruit E2 conjugating enzyme that carries ubiquitin and move the ubiquitin from the E2 to tau. After ubiquitination, tau protein is supposed to be degraded by 26S proteasome

Sequence and Features
