Description
In Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, the system of secretion is based on the charge of the N-terminus leader sequence. Positive charges on the N-terminus leader sequence contribute to secretion in a non-sequence-dependent manner (Sergeyenko TV and Los DA. 2003. Cyanobacterial leader peptides for protein secretion. FEMS Microbiology Letters 218: 351-357).
This part is an artificially designed secretion tag from the above paper. It is composed of positively charged amino acids, and was shown to successfully function as a secretion tag in Synechocystis in the above paper.

This part is based on a sequence that was artificially designed in Sergeyenko and Los, 2003. It was created by annealing two oligionucleotides together.
