Flagellin is the main protein which polymerizes to form the filaments of bacterial flagella and is necessary for bacterial movement by swimming. The possession of a flagellum allow bacteria to swim towards food sources and so gives them a selective advantage. [1]
It has been demonstrated that Flagellin has the ability to adsorb precious metals such as platinum or gold..
Design summary
Starting from the E.coli flagellin sequence ( http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P04949 ) we have designed a part to produce this protein in E. coli chassis BBa_K1951008. All forbidden restriction sites have been removed. Codons have been optimized for E.coli to allow a maximal transcription level.
Proof of functionality
This sequence has been tested: placed under the control of a strong promoter with a ribosome binding site the sequence has been validated as functional. For further information, go on the following link : BBa_K1951008 design
