Description
A single subunit of the T3-10 self-assembling protein scaffold (Baker 2008) is fused in-frame to the K=coil from Team Calgary 2013???s parallel coiled-coil proteins (BBa_K1189010). The ???K??? denotes the charged lysine residues in the ???e??? and ???g??? positions of the helical wheel representation of the coils. A His-tag fused to the C-terminus of the coils allows quick purification. The flexible linker Gly-Ser between the K-coil and the His-tag prevents potential electrostatic interference between the two domains.
This fusion of the K-coil to each individual subunit means that once assembled into a multimer, multiple proteins with a complementary E-coil domain (such as our Type III AFPs: BBa_K1831001, BBa_K1831003) can be non-covalently attached to the scaffold.
Notes
The K-coil was created as an in-frame fusion protein, added to the C-terminus of the T3-10 subunit. By adding a flexible linker of Gly-Ser, between the scaffold and the coil, we incorporated a unique BamHI restriction site into the DNA sequence. This acts as a diagnostic marker for simplified cloning of our BioBrick into the expression vector of your choosing.
