Design Notes

To design a ciprofloxacin resistance cassette we designed a gBlock that contains the Bacillus subtilis promoter PAtpI, which is active from a very early stage of germination and includes a ribosome binding site. The gBlock also contains the original qnrS1 gene sequence from E. coli. qnr genes code for pentapeptide repeat proteins. These proteins reduce susceptibility to quinolones by protecting the complex of DNA and DNA gyrase enzyme from the inhibitory effect of quinolones. Finally, this gBlock contains a double terminator (BBa_B0015) from iGEM as well as the prefix and suffix for BioBricks. In summary the ciprofloxacin cassette consists of the following parts PAtpI+RBS+qnrS1+2TER. For more information how this BioBrick was designed go to: BBa_K1930004.
