pYMB essentials + RBS(Pmsp3) + LLO

pYMB (BBa_K624004)is a shuttle vector for manipulating and transforming gene into AMB-1.

The ribosome binding site is from Pmsp3, the strongest promoter of AMB-1.(BBa_K624012).

Listeriolysin O (LLO)is a hemolysin produced by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, a pathogen that is responsible for listeriosis. LLO is activated within phagosomes of cells that have phagocytosed L. monocytogenes cells, and lyses the membrane of phagosome. The bacteria is then able to escape into the cytosol without damaging the plasma membrane, and grow intracellularly. This would result in the protection from extracellular immune system.
