Design Notes
We analyzed all Mercury-resistance (Mer) operon genes, in these following strains available at NCBI: (1) Escherichia coli 042, (2) Escherichia coli O26 , (3) Escherichia coli ACN001, (4) Escherichia coli 838C-R1, (5) Escherichia coli APEC-O103, (6) Escherichia coli UMNK88, (7) Escherichia coli AR060302, (8) Escherichia coli PMV-1. It is showed that the mer genes from strains (1) - (2) - (3) - (4) - (5) is conserved among them. However strains (6) - (7) and (8) did not show any similarity. Therefore we used sequences from (1) to (5) due the consensus in E.coli.
Source
MerA gene sequence is found in the O26-CRL plasmid from Escherichia coli O26. We also added strong RBS from protein 10 found in phage 17 and the double terminator (BBa_B0015) to ensure efficient termination of transcription and messenger RNA recognition.
