xynD, which produces xylanase
The cvaC gene produces colicin V, which is also called ColV, is a type of bacteriocin secreted by E. coli. Besides, it has a killing effect on other closely related bacteria that cannot secrete specific colicin immunity protein, which is synthesized by cvi gene.
Usage and Biology
Colicin V is a non-ribosome-encoded antibacterial peptide produced by many E. coli strains and other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, which kills bacteria by destroying the membrane potential of sensitive target cells. Due to the existence and composition of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, natural colicin V is usually inactive to it, but its expression in lactic acid bacteria has also been proposed in the literature: naturally generated colicin V can destroy sensitive targets cell membrane potential to kill Gram-positive bacteria. The gene encoding colicin V is derived from the pAPEC-O2-ColV plasmid of E. coli.
We will use cvaC-cvi to express ColV and immunity protein, thereby killing "enemy" bacteria.
Design Notes
There is a repetitive sequence between cvi and cvaC gene, and other than that there is no need to pay attention.
Source
This gene is derived from Escherichia coli (strain: A2363), we get the genomic sequence by NCBI.
