Part:BBa_K2599008

T7 Promoter+RBS+Subtilosin+intein+CBD

NCTU_Formosa 2018 designed a composite part encoding the Subtilosin sequence (BBa_K2599000), and then combined with a T7 promoter (BBa_I712074), a ribosome binding site (BBa_B0034), intein and chintin binding domain (CBD). Further information of our peptide can be found on our design page.

Introduction

Bacillus subtilis produces an anionic bacteriocin called Subtilosin that possesses antibacterial activity against certain gram-positive bacteria. The bacteriocins are a group of anitmicrobial peptides that are often distinguished from traditioinal antibiotics by their narrow range of avtivity against closely related bacteria.

Experiment Result

Cloning

We conbined our toxic gene to pSB1C3 backbone and conducted PCR to check the size of our part. The Subtilosin sequence length is around 147 b.p. For the composite part, the sequence length should be near at 1191 b.p.

Expressing

We chose E. coli 2566 strain to express our antibacterial peptides. The expression of Subtilosin fused with intein was induced by IPTG in E. coli , and intein-subtilosin specifically bound to the column through chitin binding domain would be purified.
