sfGFP_mamI_pGA1C3

This part was made by [http://2011.igem.org/Team:Washington UW iGEM Team 2011] and was contributed to the [http://2011.igem.org/Team:Washington/Magnetosomes/Results Magnetosome Toolkit].

Usage and Biology

This part consists of mamI gene from Magnetospirillum magneticum strain AMB-1, sfGFP in the backbone of pGA1C3. It was made by Gibson Cloning Method.

MamI is a membrane-localized protein that localizes magnetic vesicles to the surface of cells, thus forming characteristic magnetosome chains. It was previously reported that the loss of mamI causes no membrane vesicle formation.

This part was transformed into E.coli and membrane localization (particularly the poles) was observed:
