New Part - Part: BBa_K2738006 (Ferritin-ovispirin)
We aimed to fuse antimicrobial peptides to self-assembling multimeric proteins giving us star-shape antimicrobial peptides called StarCores. The StarCore described here is a result of the fusion of Ferritin (self-assembling protein) to ovispirin (antimicrobial peptide) via golden-gate assembly. The fusion protein expression is regulated by T7-promoter.
Ferritin is a universal intracellular protein produced by almost all living organisms, including algae, bacteria, higher plants, and animals. Ferritin is a globular protein complex consisting of 24 protein subunits forming a nanocage. Ovispirin is an alpha-helical antimicrobial peptide derived from derived SMAP29 peptide.It was found to inhibit several antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains.
Using homology modelling, we obtained the structure of ferritin-ovispirin fusion monomer protein. Using homology alignment, we were able to reconstruct the assembled ferritin-ovispirin monomer into the multimeric star-shaped construct.
