Part:BBa_K5115035
ribozyme+RBS+MTA+stem-loop
Introduction
This composite part is composed of MTA coding sequence (CDS), wrapped by ribozyme-assisted polycistronic co-expression system (pRAP) sequences. By inserting BBa_K4765020 before CDS, the RNA of Twister ribozyme conduct self-cleaving in the mRNA[1]. To protect the mono-cistron mRNA from degradation, a stem-loop structure is placed at the 3' end of CDS[2]. In 2023, we extensively tested various stem-loops using BBa_K4765129. For parts we made this year, this strong protective stem-loop sequence was used.
As for the ribosome binding sequence (RBS) after the ribozyme and before the CDS, we used T7 RBS, from bacteriophage T7 gene 10[3]. It is an intermediate strength RBS according to our 2022 results, which allows us to change it to a weaker J6 RBS or a stronger B0 RBS if needed, enabling flexible protein expression levels between various ribozyme connected parts.
The Metallothioneins (MTA) are intracellular, low molecular, low molecular weight, cysteine-rich proteins. Ubiquitous in eukaryotes, MTA has unique structural characteristics to give potent metal-binding and redox capabilities[4].
Usage and Biology
The MTA can endowing E.coli with detoxifying capability.
