Part:BBa_K3739047
J23100-B0034-his-rhlB-B0015
Required for rhamnolipid surfactant production.
Biology
RhlB
The RhlB comes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and is a rhamnosyltransferase that is capable of catalyzing the reaction between HAA and dTDP-l-rhamnose to form mono-rhamnolipid.¹ The hydropathy plot of the RhlB suggested the protein to be membrane anchored via its N-terminal, crossing the membrane and exposing its domains on both sides of the membrane. ²
Usage
In order to obtain purified RhlB, we added a his-tag (6∗His) at the N-terminal of RhlB. We used BBa_K081005 to construct the expression system and obtained the composite BBa_K3739047, which is assembled on the expression vector pET-28a(+) by standard assembly. The constructed plasmid was transformed into Vibrio natriegens, then the positive transformants were selected by kanamycin and confirmed by colony PCR and sequencing.
Characterization
1. Agarose Gel Electrophoresis After receiving the plasmid from Sangon Biotech®, regular PCR was used to certify the plasmid was correct. The expected result was obtained(1698bp).
