Description
We designed a protein that carries our signal peptide ComC out of the cell where a protease has access to it. The protease can then proceed to cleave ComC off the protein, allowing quorum sensing via the the ComCDE system to take place. One big problem we have to overcome is the cell wall that will obstruct the protease???s access to the protein carrying the signal peptide. The Detection module consists of a cell wall anchor, a signal peptide called ComC, and a linker that connects the two and is specifically designed to be cleaved by the protease we want to detect
Notes
Pfu DNA polymerase was used to minimise PCR errors
