<p align="justify">The TorA-GlmS Biobrick consists of a TorA signal sequence linked to GlmS,  protein capable of binding vitamin B<sub>12</sub>. The TorA signal peptide allows export of fully-folded proteins through the inner membrane via the Tat (Twin-Arginine translocation) system. This construct thus enables export of vitamin B<sub>12</sub> bound to BtuF out of the cytoplasm.
The TorA sequence codes for an amino-terminal signal peptide that harbours a twin-arginine motif which is vital for the recognition by the Tat system. The TorA signal sequence and the sequence coding for BtuF are connected by a linker of 15 bases, coding for the five amino acids following the signal peptide in trimethylamine-N-oxide reductase from <em>E.coli</em>.</p>
