His-tagged M. edulis MT expression construct

This part is not compatible with BioBrick RFC10 assembly but is compatible with the iGEM Type IIS Part standard which is also accepted by iGEM.

Usage and Biology

Metallothionein (MT) is a small protein (around 6-7 kDa) which is rich in cysteine. These thiol group in cysteines provide ability to chelate almost all heavy metal ions including Cd2+, Hg2+, Pb2+ and As3+, but had been shown that has higher binding affinity with Hg2+ (Manceau, A. et al., 2019). The ability of chelating heavy metals provides the metal tolerance for its hosts. This MT sequence was obtained from Mytilus edulis, a blue mussel which originally live in aqueous environment (MACKAY E. A. et al.,1993). This part is used to test the express M. edulis MT along with 6x-His tag for purification.
