The biosynthetic locus of mutacin III was designed by our team in a form allowing for high-yield and fine-tuned expression of the peptide (Fig. 1). We placed a strong T7 promoter upstream of mutA to obtain high levels of the propeptide, a repressible pTet promoter upstream of the mutBCDP co-transcription unit and an inducible araBAD promoter for the mutT gene, coding for the ATP-binding-cassette-like transporter of mutacin III. All illegal restriction sites were removed from the endogenous sequences by silent mutagenesis.

Source

Our device was based on the sequence of AF154675.1

Design Notes

All restriction sites were removed by silent mutagenesis.
