Design Notes

Lpp-OmpA-linker (BBa_K103006) was chosen to serve as the anchor in the outer membrane due to its previous uses in biobricks containing protein assemblies anchored in the outer membrane.

Bovine galectin was used as a model galectin. As a mammalian galectin, it is a smaller protein than CvGal1 (BBa_K1489005), the galectin found in the Eastern Oyster.

When designing this part, we had to choose between the pBAD and pLac promoters. Decided to use the pBAD promoter due to believed tighter regulation; we were unsure of whether the protein was toxic and did not want to have too much leaky expression.

OmpA is from E. coli genome Bovine galectin 1 is from Bos taurus genome.
