Abstract

The ability of zinc finger domains to selectively bind specific double stranded DNA sequences have largely been applied intracellularly, such as in engineered zinc finger nucleases for genomic manipulations. Proteins containing zinc finger domains can also be used extracellularly to precisely adhere objects to surfaces containing bound oligonucleotides. This project aims to utilize the specificity of zinc finger protein to direct binding of Escherichia coli to oligonucleotides bound on surfaces. The fusion protein engineered to contain a fragment of the OmpA membrane domain and a zinc finger domain allows the protein to be expressed on the outside of the cell while remaining bound to the host cell.

New for iGEM 2010 is the groupparts tag. This tag will generate a table with all of the parts that your team adds to your team sandbox. Note that if you want to document a part you need to document it on the [http://partsregistry.org Registry], not on your team wiki.
