N-terminus his tagged-GFP-XylE fusion protein


Constructed to be combined with promoter and terminator. The GFP BBa_E0040 has a 5'(5xHis) tag and is linked to XylE BBa_J33204 monomer subunit (It should be noted that the RBS of XylE (J33204) has been removed for this fusion protein). The linker is composed of a Flag tag (DYKDDDDK), TEV protease recognition sequence ENLYFQG followed by GGSGGS - flexible linker. The purpose of the linker and attached GFP is to render the XylE enzyme inactive, by preventing homo-tetramerization into its functional form.

For more information about XylE, it's substrate and spectrophotometric assays, please see BBa_K316003 or our wiki[http://2010.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College_London/Results]

The GFP-XylE fusion protein was tested in the K316007 pVEG based expression construct. The result can be seen on the experience page


Safety

The substrate XylE works on is a chemical called catechol. It is classed as irritant in the EU but as toxic in the USA, as well as being a possible carcinogen. It should therefore be handled with care and proper safety equipment. More information is available on the [http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9927131 Material Safety Data Sheet].


Parts were assembled by PCR primer extension for exact methods, see our [http://2010.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College_London/Strategy wiki assembly strategy]

Characterisation data was obtained for XylE BBa_K316003. In addition constructs under two different promoters: J23101-XylE BBa_K316004 from E. coli was used to categorise B. subtilis derived Pveg-XylE BBa_K316005. Also GFP-XylE constructs BBa_K316007 were tested to determine the effectiveness of inhibition of XylE activity by attachment of GFP. These are described on our wiki[http://2010.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College_London/Results] and the aforementioned parts pages.
