Description

Avi-VioE codes for VioE with an appended biotinylation marker. When attached to a promoter, it can be biotinylated by E coii. E coli has a natural mechanism encoded by the BirA gene to produce biotin and biotinylate proteins - this mechanism can be enhanced by culturing with biotin. This enzyme can then be used in the violacein biosynthetic pathway with the added functionality of biotin-streptavidin binding.

The VioE-avitag fusion protein was constructed to have the AviTag sequence on the C-terminus, followed by a stop codon. The resulting protein, once biotinylated, is capable of a ligand reaction with surface-coated avidin, while retaining the activity of VioE.

The violacein biochemical pathway is composed of 5 enzmes, VioA-E. The violacein pathway involves five enzymes, VioA, VioB, VioC, VioD, and VioE, in the conversion of L-Tryptophan into a violacein, purple chromophore. However, only three of the five enzymes (VioA, VioB, and VioE) are required to produce a colored produce. Even with the exception of Vios C and D, L-Tryptophan is converted into prodeoxyviolacein, a green pigment.

Notes

The avitag is capable of being on either the C or N terminus of the protein of interest with little difference between the two in the binding efficiency or expression of the protein. We chose to put the Avitag on the C-terminus for the convenience of using a primer dimer pair to insert the iGEM suffix to the sample from the parts registry.
