Part:BBa_K2230025

RBS-STM1128-TT/pSB1C3

Salmonella typhimurium LT2 has two glucose-specific transporter systems, PTS system and sodium/glucose cotransporter. PTS system contains two subunits IIA encoded by crr and IIBC by ptsG which are assembled to a high-affinity active transporter. The other is a Na+/glucose cotransporter encoded by STM1128 that contributes to facilitated transport with lower glucose affinity.

Research

Based on our research, the glucose transporter of Salmonella has a lower Km compared to human small intestine, Staphylococcus and E. coli, indicating a higher efficiency for glucose uptake. In our study, we demonstrated glucose absorption ability by overexpressing each of these two systems from Salmonella in E. coli.

Cloning

The RBS-STM1128 part (BBa_K2230023) was assembled with Double Terminator/pSB1C3 (BBa_B0015)
