pRha - fimH

Usage and Biology

This part contains the fimH adhesin under control of a titratable rhamnose promoter. The FimH protein is a subunit of a naturally occurring structure in some strains of E. coli called type 1 pili. These hairlike appendages typically manifest as organelles on the surface of pathogenic E. coli which are responsible for urinary tract infections in humans. The FimH adhesin is found at the tip of the pilus, and binds naturally to the sugar mannose. This part can be cotransformed with BBa_K1850013, which contains the rest of the fim operon, and induced to produce type 1 pili.
