Ice Nucleation Protein (INP) FLAG-tag
| Types | DnaRegion |
| Roles | CDS Coding |
| Sequences | BBa_K1352006_sequence (Version 1) |
Description
K1352006 is a part which has a FLAG-tag octapeptide flanked by a multiple cloning site (MCS) inserted into Bba_K523013 (K523013 expresses ice nucleation protein (INP)); specifically, on the end of a linker, which is in turn on the C-terminus of INP and is in the same reading frame.The FLAG-tag is a BglII restriction site, followed by a FLAG octapeptide, followed by a HindIII restriction site; the sequence of which is as follows; the octapeptide is uppercase, the restriction sites are lowercase:
(agatctGATTATAAAGATGATGATGATAAAaagctt)
Attaching a FLAG-tag to the end of INP means that it will be expressed on the surface of the cell, the purpose of this is to allow the rapid insertion (via the MCS) of polypeptides (an antigen for example) to the C-terminus end of INP; this allows the surface expression of said polypeptide.
For the 2014 Aberdeen iGEM project, this part was intended to be used as a trypanosome antigen displayer.
