Part:BBa_K4023003
glpF-rbs-modified MTIA
This is a bicistronic gene containing a glpF, a ribosome binding site and a modified MTIA. This gene is designed to coexpress the glycerol uptake facilitator protein (coded by glpF) with the modified metallothionein IA protein. The glycerol uptake facilitator protein transports arsenite into E.coli. This could help to remove the bottleneck in As III uptake, potentially improving the efficiency of arsenite remediation1. Thus This bicistronic gene has been optimized to express the glycerol uptake facilitator protein and modified metallothionein IA protein for increased remediation of As III from the environment.
