Description
This expression cassette is designed for the expression of an antifugal peptide, D4E1, and for its secretion in Bacillus subtilis. D4E1 has shown antifungal activity by complexing with a streol present in condinia's wall of a variety of fungi.
It is composed of a constituve promoter (K143012 Pveg), a RBS (K780002 strong RBS), the open reading frame of D4E1 and a double terminator (B0015).
Notes
The coding sequence of D4E1 is flanked on the N-terminal end with a signal peptide (amyE signal peptide) followed by a pro peptide, cleaved during the secretion process.
