mamKL, from Magnetospirillum magneticum

This part includes genes mamK and mamL, which were extracted from the genome of Magnetospirillum magneticum strain AMB-1 by [http://2011.igem.org/Team:Washington UW iGEM Team 2011].

Usage and Biology

mamKL is 1336bp in length and the gene numbers are AMB0965 and AMB0966 respectively; it was reported that mamK is required for proper magnetosome chain organization; it is bacterial actin-like cytoskeleton protein required for proper alignment of the magnetosomes in a chain, shown to localize the mamI; mamL is crucial to mangneosome membrane creation, shown to be spread across the cell membrane and sometimes forms lines.
