Design Notes

Bacillus subtilis-specific components were used (strong RBS and constitutive promoter) to produce high levels of expression of the BBI peptide fused to GFP for visualization. A secretory signal peptide sequence was included to allow for secretion of the peptide directly into surrounding media. A transdermal tag allowed for diffusion of the peptide across the skin. Codons were optimized for B. subtilis. Additional amino acids were included to increase solubility of the desired peptide product.


Source

Members of the lentil family produce the full BBI protein, and the genetic sequence for the peptide was sourced originally from genomic DNA.
