N-acetylatedGlucosamine based chemotaxis for Bacillus subtilis

This part is designed to enable a N-acetylatedglucosamine based chemotaxis in Bacillus subtilis.

Design :
The encoded protein is a chimera of 2 proteins:
-the methyl accepting Chemotaxis protein (McpA, http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P39214) from Bacillus subtilis which is required for taxis towards glucose,
-and the N-acetylglucosamine regulated methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein from Vibrio cholerae (VCD_000306, http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/C3NYT2). The chimeric protein contains the intracellular domains of McpA from Bacillus subtilis to enable the transduction of the signal: these domains correspond to the amino acids 1-37 and 282-610. The extracellular domain of VCD_000306 is inserted between the intracellular regions of McpA to sense N-acetylglucosamine and corresponds to the amino acids 31-310.
