Introduction

NixA is a high-affinity nickel transporter in helicobacter pylori. It belongs to the NiCoT family of transporters and facilitates the import of Ni²⁺ ions across the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. These nickel ions make up the active sites of urease and hydrogenase, enzymes crucial for H. pylori's ability to survive in the highly acidic environment of the stomach.[1] In our design, the NixA is expressed on the cell membrane of E.coli and undertake the task of importing nickel into the bacteria.

Usage and Biology

We delete the stop codon of this part to link it with BBa_K5115085(F1v).For more information about their experiment, please check BBa_K5115086(NixA-F1v)and BBa_K5115087(F1v-NixA).
