Depositor Comments

pRK1035 overproduces the catalytic domain of tobbaco vein mottling virus (TVMV) protease in the form of an MBP fusion protein that cleaves itself in vivo to yield a TVMV protease catalytic domain with an N-terminal His-tag. The specificity of TVMV protease is distinct from that of TEV protease. The canonical recognition site for TVMV protease is ETVRFQS, with cleavage occurring between Q and S. Shifting the temperature from 37C to 30C during induction maximizes the yield of soluble TVMV protease. The TVMV protease open reading frame on pRK1035 was constructed from synthetic oligonucleotides and has been codon-optimized for expression in E. coli.
