NemA (N-ethylmaleimide reductase)

N-ethylmaleimide reductase, created for use as a Trinitroltoluene and Nitroglycerine degrading protein. NemA is a flavoprotein that primarily catalyses the reduction of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), which is toxic to cell growth. However, it is also involved in the degradation of other toxic compounds for their reuse in nitrogen metabolism. Some of these compounds include PETN, quinones and chromate. It increases the resistance of organisms to the toxic effects of these compounds. This sequence only encodes for the protein, an attached His (x6) Tag to allow for purification and a double-STOP codon. It therefore requires regulatory sequences (promoter/RBS/terminator) to be added for expression. The protein has been codon-optimised for expression in E. coli.
