pRecN
The RecA protein is required for the repair of double strand breaks in bacterial DNA. It has been shown that RecN is upregulated in E.coli after administration of known carcinogenic agent MNNG. (Norman et al, 2004) (Finch et al, 1985)
Usage and Biology
iGEM Leiden 2018 has created a screening system for the detection of new antibiotics. We have tested several stress-activated promoters against a repertoire of known antibiotics (Figure 1) using flow cytometry. We fused promoters to green fluorescent protein and stressed transformed DH5a cells for several hours.
Figure 1. Heatmap with stress-activated promoters
As can be observed in Figure 1 the RecN promoter is not affected by the tested antibiotics.
