Description
This part is the coding sequence for the silk like polypeptide. This sequence was assembled from a consensus of the MaSp1 from spiders. This protein, in spiders, allows resistance and elasticity used for spinning the webs.
The synthetic gene encodes a synthetic protein "silk-like". The repeated aminoacids allow to retrieve these properties of resistance, resilience and elasticity, but with a minimal pattern of the original protein, which is more suited for downstream applications. It can be used to produce wire presenting these properties after wet-spinning.
Notes
The gene was synthesized by ordering specific oligo with overlapping regions, and by adding a NheI site for the assembling.
