Description
This part contains an RBS (BBa_B0034), a promoter (lacI inducible; BBa_R0010) and a coding region (PgeChia 1-2; BBa_K1298002). It is in a pSB1C3 backbone. With this, the chitinase protein is created. Chitinase breaks down chitin, a substance found in the exoskeleton of arthropods (spiders, insects, etc.) and in the cell walls of fungi. It should be noted that there is no secretory tag, meaning that the chitinase protein is not being secreted outside of the cell, but staying inside. The part should be used to have the chitinase protein break down chitin.
Notes
The protein code for the PgeChia 1-2 was optimized to remove illegal cut sites. It should be noted that there is no secretory tag in the biobrick, meaning that the chitinase protein is not being transported outside of the cell, but staying inside of it.
