Part:BBa_K4590007

Designed by: Beatriz Lauriano de Oliveira   Group: iGEM23_USP-Brazil   (2023-10-02)


ABC transporter and resistance genes

It contains St(r)epB (BBa_K4590002), St(r)epC (BBa_K4590003), St(r)epD (BBa_K4590005), and St(r)epE (BBa_K4590006) in a single vector.

When St(r)epB (BBa_K45900002) and St(r)epC (BBa_K4590003) are combined, they encode an ABC transporter, which will be utilized to export Cosmomycin into the extracellular environment (Castillo et. al 2022).

Membrane transporters play a crucial role in antibiotic resistance as they reduce the concentration of these compounds inside the cell. By overexpressing the ABC transporter, our goal is to enhance Cosmomycin production, a secondary metabolite, by mitigating negative feedback (Castillo et. al 2022).

St(r)epD (BBa_K4590005) shares a 99% identity with a gene encoding for a glutathione peroxidase, acting as an antioxidant to counteract the damage caused by free radicals in Streptomyces (Arteaga, 2015).

St(r)epE (BBa_K4590006) encodes a UvrA-like protein, involved in DNA repair in Streptomyces (Arteaga, 2015).

Both antioxidant action and DNA repair mechanisms are associated with self-resistance to damage caused by anthracyclines. Our intention is to boost Cosmomycin biosynthesis investigating the influence of all the 4 resistance genes on its production (Arteaga, 2015).
