G1M5-rCtx-his

In order to eliminate T.urticae of infested cultivations, spider venom peptide rCtx-4 is incorporated in our project with pesticidal means. rCtx-4 is a neurotoxin obtained from the ctenid spider Phoneutria depilata, naturally employed to incapacitate their prey. Having the voltage-gated sodium channels playing a vital role in neuronal, muscular and cardiac functions, targets experience fast immobilization after envenomation, thus it serves as an effective pesticide. Due to the cysteine-rich nature of rCtx-4, expression strategy that exterminates inclusion bodies is required, thus a G1M5 secretion system is engineered with the SVP to achieve this. Considering future pesticidal control, G1M5-rCtx-4-his can provide future iGEM teams that dedicate in exterminating other destructive pests more choices of sustainable pesticide that could be expressed correctly in Escherichia Coli.
