MMP2 under the control of the pBAD/araC arabinose inducible promoter

This construct is built with human matrix metalloprotease 2 (MMP2) inserted in a plasmid containing the pBAD/araC arabinose inducible promoter and superfolder GFP. The protein coding sequence (CDS) was cloned in between the two afore-mentioned elements with a linker as well, so that induction of the promoter with arabinose would trigger the expression of an MMP2-GFP protein and its secretion.

The goal of this construct was to give bacteria the ability to secrete a gelatine-degrading enzyme, upon arabinose signaling (chosen for the proof of principle), to break open gelatin nano-particles containing drugs and attached to the bacteria's surface. In the future, different promoters with desired specificities could be cloned in front of the MMP2-GFP, instead oft he arabinose promoter, to trigger release of drugs upon special signals.
