Beta-lacatamase enzyme called blaNDM-1

Design Notes

This particular gene belongs to class B which represent metallo-β-lacatamases that contain zink in the active site. We designed this biobrick without any promotor for safety reasons. As this enzyme may be resistant to several types of antibiotic the UiOslo team felt that it would be safer to design the biobrick without any promotor so that any team that wish to work with this part may use it in a controlled manner.

The sequence was obtained from a clinical isolate collected from Norway and was sent to IDT for synthesizing. By designing special flanking regions the gene could easily be cloned into the shipping vector by Gibson Assembly.

These are the flanking regions the gene was designed with: Gctaaggatgatttctggaattcgcggccgcttctagatg<GENE>tactagtagcggccgctgcagtccggcaaaaaagggcaag

If the part will be used in classical cloning with restriction enzymes be aware of the gene may naturally contain several restriction enzymes that may influence the experiment.

Source

This part is originally from a clinical isolate of a ESBL E. Coli strain collected from a antibiotic resistance expertize center in Tromsø, Norway. The sequence has been sendt to IDT and synthesized.
