FliC

FliC encodes the major flagellar protein of E. coli and is thus fundamental to motility.


Figure 1 shows this biobrick used in conjunction with various promoters and ribosome binding sites to restore swimming in fliC knockout strains. This data is also shown as a histogram in Figure 2. These show that, with an appropriate promoter and RBS, this biobrick can restore swimming to almost wild-type levels.


We sequenced our fliC biobrick and found that it had the expected sequence, identical to fliC of the sequenced E. coli strain MG1655 at all positions except for the changes we had made to remove three PstI sites and one SpeI site. However, there were two coding differences between our biobrick and a previous fliC biobrick in the parts registry K777109. K777109 has mutations G145T and T331G in the DNA resulting in amino acid changes A49S and S111A. These two changes appear to be mutations in K777109 and thus our biobrick (BBa_K1463600) is an improved version of K777109.
