pelB-pudA expression

This part can express a plastic degradation enzyme from Comamonas acidovorans that breaks down ester bonds in polyurethane. The sequence was codon optimized for E.coli. We added a pelB tag to ensure secretion to the N terminal and we have added a 6xpolyhistidine tag to the C terminal. The promoter is arabinose inducible.

Theoretical pathway of PUR degradation by esterase:
