Description
Some Staphylococcus strains produce anti-Legionella peptide. ORF for anti-legionella peptide specifically encodes for a 22 amino acid peptide. Anti-legionella unit is a biobrick for suitable suffix and prefix regions. It contains a PelB leader sequence in the upstream of the anti-legionella peptide ORF to direct the peptide outside the cell.
Notes
Anti-legionella unit is a biobrick for suitable suffix and prefix regions. It was derived from synthetic oligonucleotides by tandem hybridization reactions, and amplified by PCR.
Source
Oligonucleotide sequence of the anti-legionella peptide was obtained from genomic sequence, and sequence of the PelB leader peptide was obtained from iGEM database.
