Depositor Comments

Please note: The numbering system used was for the mature natural wild-type ssb protein. The N-terminal methionine is quantitatively cleaved off in E. coli and was not numbered so all mutations will be off by 1 nucleotide (e.g., G27C = G26C).

The expressed protein is a single-cysteine variant of E. coli single-stranded DNA-binding protein, EcSSB, for subsequent labeling at the cysteine with one IDCC (N-[2-(iodoacetamido)ethyl]-7-diethylaminocoumarin-3-carboxamide) per subunit. This adduct is then used as a fluorescent single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) biosensor, having ~6-fold fluorescence increase on binding ssDNA with very high affinity.
