Part:BBa_K3738019

Designed by: Emily Hagens and Mark Lea   Group: iGEM21_Lethbridge   (2021-10-18)


MlrA for E.coli

MlrA, or microcystinase, cleaves the peptide backbone of MC-LR cyanotoxins produced by microcystis aeruginosa cyanobacteria. This crucial step results in the peptide losing the cyclic structure, and therefore the majority of its toxicity. Further degradation continues in an enzymatic pathway by interactions with other peptidolytic enzymes from the microcystinase gene cluster. This design for this part was inspired by the Aalto-Helsinki 2016 iGEM team (Part BBa_K1907001), but was originally codon-optimized for yeast. We have modified this part by codon-optimizing it for use in E.coli. Additionally, team Aalto-Helsinki's mlrA came from Sphingomonas sp. ACM-3962, whereas this part originates from Sphingomonas sp. USTB-05.
