Design Notes

mrlD is a gene involved in degradation of microsystin. The MlrD protein belongs to a protein family which is predicted to carry small peptides across the bacterial cell wall and it is therefore possible that this protein facilitates the transport of microcystin. The taking in process would facility another protein,MrlA,which is an enzyme of microcystin to clean up microcystin successfully.

Source

It is synthetic.The gene was discovered in Sphingopyxis sp. C-1,and the sequence of it can be obtained from genebank >gi|349500571|dbj|AB591070.1|.
