This protein is designed to be a dark quencher for GFP ([http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_E0040 E0040]) in a FRET system. When used in a fusion protein with GFP it reduces the observed fluorescence of GFP drastically. In the biobrick [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1319013 K1319013] this is realised and the proteins are fused with the linker [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1319016 K1319016] which includes a specific TEV protease cleavage site.

RFC [25] Version of E0020

This part is an RFC [25]-compatible version of BBa_E0030. The start and stop codons have been removed to make it RFC [25]-compatible and the part is flanked by the RFC [25] prefix- and suffix-sequences.

The coding sequence encodes EYFP (enhanced yellow fluorescent protein) which is derived from A. victoria GFP. The excitation is 512 nm and the emission is 534 nm.

RFC [25] - compatible dark quencher based on K1319000 (E0030)

This part is an RFC [25] dark quencher that is based upon K1319000 (the RFC [25] version of E0030/EYFP). Two mutations were introduced that eliminated fluorescence:

  • L90I
  • Y145W

This protein is designed to be a dark quencher for GFP ([http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_E0040 E0040]) in a FRET system. When used in a fusion protein with GFP it reduces the observed fluorescence of GFP drastically. In the biobrick [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1319013 K1319013] this is realised and the proteins are fused with the linker [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1319016 K1319016] which includes a specific TEV protease cleavage site.

[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1319002 K1319002]

RFC [25] - compatible dark quencher based on K1319000 (E0030)

This part is an RFC [25] dark quencher that is based upon K1319000 (the RFC [25] version of E0030/EYFP). Three mutations were introduced that eliminated fluorescence:

  • L90I
  • Y145W
  • H148R

human galectin-3, codon optimized for E. coli

The trunkated galectin-3 is a 26 kDa protein that binds certain LPS patterns.

[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1319004 K1319004]

TEV protease with anti-self cleavage mutation S219V, codon optimized for E. coli

This part is a TEV protease in RFC25 that was codon-optimized for expression in E. coli. The part contains the S219V anti-self cleavage mutation.

The TEV Protease (also known as Tobaco Edge Virus nuclear inclusion a endopeptidase) is a highly sequence specific cysteine protease from the Tobacco Edge Virus (TEV). The protease is highly sequence specific. The consensus sequence for the cut is ENLYFQ\S with \ denoting the cleaved peptide bond. This sequence can be found in the part [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1319016 K1319016].

ENLYFQ\S is the optimal cleavage site with the highest activity but the protease is also active to a greater or lesser extent on a range of substrates. The highest cleavage is of sequences closest to the consensus EXLYΦQ\φ where X is any residue, Φ is any large or medium hydrophobic amino acid and φ is any small hydrophobic amino acid.

The TEV protease is commonly used as a biochemical tool to cleave affinity tags from purified proteins like [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1319007 His-Tags]. The high specifity makes the protease relatively non-toxic in vitro and in vivo. The molecular weight of the TEV protease is 27 kDa.

IPTG-induced and T7-driven expression of TEV protease

This protein generator produces [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1319004 TEV protease] when induced with IPTG in a DE3 strain or if combined with a T7 RNA-Polymerase generator.

Constitutive expression of K1319001

This part expresses K1319001 behind a J23101 constitutive promotor.

Constitutive expression of GFP-EYFP fusion protein

This part expresses a E0040.K1319000 fusion protein (GFP-EYFP) behind a J23101 promotor.

[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1319016 K1319016]

TEV protease cleavage site

This sequence codes for a [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1319004 TEV protease] cleavage site.

ENLYFQ\S is the optimal cleavage site with the highest activity but the protease is also active to a greater or lesser extent on a range of substrates. The highest cleavage is of sequences closest to the consensus EXLYΦQ\φ where X is any residue, Φ is any large or medium hydrophobic amino acid and φ is any small hydrophobic amino acid.
