Description
Long-chain fatty acids are transported across the cell membrane via a transport/acyl-activation mechanism involving an outer membrane protein, FadL(BBa_K861500). The fadL gene codes for a 43,000-dalton membrane protein (FLP) which has been implicated as being essential for LCFA transport. When expressed, FadL can transport the long-chain fatty acids into the bacterium. We assebled FadL with PfadR (BBa_K861060) hoping it will only be overexpressed when fatty acids concentration is high.
Notes
None
Source
FadL gene is cloned from E.coli K12 DH5α
