Part:BBa_K4390065
His-tagged SpyTagged sfGFP expression construct
This part is not compatible with BioBrick RFC10 assembly but is compatible with the iGEM Type IIS Part standard which is also accepted by iGEM.
Usage and Biology
SpyTag is a 13 amino acid-long protein that spontaneously reacts with the SpyCatcher protein (12.3 kDa). Together they form an intermolecular isopeptide bond. This provides an alternative to His-tag purification techniques. Insertion of either the SpyTag or the SpyCatcher sequence into a recombinant protein will allow its purification.
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a protein that can produce bright green colour. Due to these properties, it has always been used as reporter of protein expression. Protein fused with sfGFP will turn the colony green if expressed, which can be used to identify the ability of certain genes to be expressed in other organism like E. coli.
By adding a SpyTag to sfGFP, this can be used to see how efficient the SpyCatcher is at binding the SpyTag bound to the sfGFP (as a control, to see the binding efficiency of binding to the tagged proteins in general).
