Description
This part is the sequence for the protein made from a bacteriophage that targets Pseudomonas aeruginosa and is responsible for lysing the bacteria. This protein is one of many kinds of endolysins. Endolysins typically have a high specificity and bacteria have not generally shown to become resistant to these proteins. There have been studies on how to vary the activity and specificity of this endolysin in particular, making it lyse other gram negative pathogens. This can be used in future projects that require the lysing of bacterial cells.
Notes
The gene was synthesized by Genescript to optimize codon and avoid EcoR1, PST, XBA, and SPE cut sites.
Source
This part comes from genomic DNA sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage, ΦKZ.
