pMalK
The gene MalK encodes for the maltose/maltodextrin import ATP-binding protein MalK, allowing for active transport of maltose across the cell membrane of E.coli.
Usage and Biology
iGEM Leiden 2018 has created a screening system for the detection of new antibiotics. We have tested several stress-activated promoters against a repertoire of known antibiotics (Figure 1)
Figure 1. Heatmap with stress-activated promoters
As can be observed in Figure 1 the MalK promoter is downregulated by a variety of antibiotics.
