This page is obsolete. The project should be documented at the relevant subpages:

Designs

The general formats for the basic phage and cell display would be:

Promoter-RBS-LeaderSequence-Enzyme-(Linker?)-pVIII
Promoter-RBS-INP-(Linker?)-Enzyme

Actions that ought to be carried out

General

Make or acquire fusion-ready cellulases (e.g. <partinfo>BBa_K392006</partinfo>, <partinfo>BBa_K392007</partinfo>, <partinfo>BBa_K392008</partinfo>).

Since a simple test system is desired, make fusion-ready amylase, from E. coli's own malS gene.

Make or acquire spacer/linker sequences?
- Short linkers could be ordered as oligos. Berkeley 2009 made some longer linkers which we could order.

Phage display

Acquire M13 phage.

PCR from our [http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/products/productn4018.asp M13mp18] to get:
- pVIII mature protein
- pVIII leader sequence, coding for: MKKSLVLKASVAVATLVPMLSFA.

Make or acquire fusion-ready pIII gene? (optional)
- See <partinfo>BBa_K415138</partinfo> (complete) or <partinfo>BBa_K257001</partinfo> (sans leader sequence).
- Our final fusion will need the leader sequence followed by the gene of interest followed by pIII proper.

Cell display

Make or acquire fusion-ready cell-surface display parts.
- See Berkeley 2009 (but perhaps ignore them).
- Instead, <partinfo>BBa_K265008</partinfo> (ice nucleation protein) looks promising.
- The fliC gene seems to be the target for flagella display; note that the displayed protein has to be inserted into the middle of it.

Biorefinery

To add...

Completion

Fuse whatever enzymes to cell-display parts or pVIII or maybe pIII.

???

Profit!

-This year we will investigate enzyme synergy outside the cell, by creating ''E. coli'' with different cellulase enzymes displayed on the surface, as well as (if possible) M13 phage with the same enzymes displayed on the pVIII coat protein.
