Mercury ions accumulator device


The Bioaccumulative Biobrick is composed of our “Essential biobrick” (BBa_K1355001) + a Metal Binding Peptide - MBP (BBa_K346004) available in the database of the iGEM since 2010, as represented below:

In mercury’s presence, MerR protein will bind to it so MerT, MerP and Metal Binding Protein (MBP) proteins are synthesized and bioaccumulation will start! MerP and MerT protein are responsible for mercury’s transport of mercury from the periplasm to cytoplasm, leading it to MBP! The MBP binds to the mercury in the cytoplasm, inactivating it.
