Design Notes
Team NRP-UEA_Norwich 2013 designed this part to contain the promoter sequence AntG, where the unique sigma factor AntA binds to activate transcription of the neomycin resistance gene. There is a Nde1 resticition site between the promoter and gene to allow either to be removed and exchanged for a different promoter or gene. This facilitated cloning of the biobrick Bba_K1041002

This part was designed by our team to aid our project in identifying new strains of Antimycin-Producing Actinomycetes. The 14 known antimycin biosynthetic gene clusters contain four operons: antAB, antCDE, antFG and antHIJKLMNO. The antA gene encodes a unique ECF RNA polymerase sigma factor, referred to as σAntA, which has the sole function of regulating antimycin synthesis by activating transcription of the antFG and antHIJKLMNO genes [1]. Homologues of the AntA sigma factor, the key regulatory protein in antimycin biosynthesis, are present in all known gene clusters [2]. Due to this property a biosensor was designed with the AntA-regulated promoter (antGp) controlling the expression of the reporter neomycin resistance gene.
