Description
This plasmid is the final testing plasmid for our E. coli- M. aeruginosa binding assay. We inserted two transcription units into one plasmid and they are expressed under the promoters J23105 and J23117 respectively. After this plasmid is transformed into E. coli, the mannan binding protein MVN (Microvirin) will be displayed on the cell surface by INPNC (Ice Nucleation Protein N and C terminal) and the E. coli cell will express GFP as well. In this way, the E. coli cells will be able to bind to M. aeruginosa cells in a "visible" way.
Notes
We optimized the sequence of MVN beforehand and chose two different promoters to avoid possible homologous recombination.
Source
This is a composite part so we constructed it using various different smaller parts. INPNC comes from the existing part BBa_K523013. The sequence of MVN can be found in the genomic sequence of Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806 and the gene was synthesized by a company (sequence can be found in the part BBa_K1378003). GFP is common and comes from the existing part BBa_E0040.
