Mercury (II) ions absorption device

Hg(II) Bioabsorption Device

Dsba-mbp(mercury metal binding peptide)+mbp(mercury metal binding peptide)+lpp-ompa-mbp(mercury metal binding peptide)

This composite part belongs to the mercury bioabsorption device constructed by Peking University 2010 iGEM team Mercury figure1.jpg

Description:

As the main part of mercury bioabsorbant of our project, this device is designed to combine three subparts----the T7promoter-rbs-Dsba-mbp-terminator, T7promoter-rbs-mbp-terminator and T7promoter-rbs-lpp-ompa-mbp-terminator (figure1), which can bind mercury separately in periplasm, cytosol and the membrane of E.coli, to make full use of the space and maximize the absorption of mercury. Since all these subparts are driven by their own T7promotor, they can be expressed when T7polymerase exists.

1 Metal binding pepside(MBP)

MBP was designed as a single polypeptide that could fold into an antiparallel coiled coil, just like MerR, the mercury-responsive metalloregulatory protein MerR dose. As a result, the engineered MBP has a similar mercury binding capacity as MerR. We got the the gene of mbp by PCR with the plasmid from Anna.

2 Dsba-mbp

Dsba-mbp is a fusion protein aiming to transport the MBP protein to the periplasm. Dsba is a signal peptide, which can be recognized and transported to the periplasm.

3 Lpp-ompa-mbp

Lpp-ompa-mbp is designed as a fusion protein consisting of the signal sequence and first 9 amino acid of Lpp, residue 46~159 of OmpA and the metal binding peptide(MBP). The signal peptide of the N-termini of this fusion protein targets the protein on the membrane while the trans-membrane domain of Ompa serves as an anchor. MBP is on the externally exposed loops of OmpA, which can be anchored to the outer membrane.
