Description
LL-37 antimicrobial peptide with codon usage for E. coli under the Arabinose promoter with GFP generator.
The MarA protein acts as a transcriptional activator in E. coli. It allows the expression of the acrAB and tolC operons, which activate the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump, a mechanism that has been related with resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides, such as LL-37.
This composite part allows MarA expression in presence of IPTG, by using the LacI promoter and the RBS based on Elowitz repressilator
Notes
In order for this device to work, it has to be transformed into Top 10 cells, the strain for arabinose induction, in which LacI promoter is constitutive.
