NrtA: nitrate/nitrite binding protein coding region
| Types | DnaRegion |
| Roles | CDS Coding |
| Sequences | BBa_M11076_sequence (Version 1) |
Description
NrtA is one of four polypeptides found in the high-affinity active nitrate transport system of Synechococcus sp. JA-3-3Ab. Specifically, NrtA is a periplasmic substrate-binding protein that has a specific and high binding affinity to nitrate and nitrite. The presence of NrtA is necessary for cell survival under conditions where nitrate is the primary available nitrogen source.The presence of available nitrate is important for photosynthesis and growth. Understanding the components of the ABC nitrate/nitrite transport system and having the ability to manipulate these proteins could be of interest in many photosynthetic growth applications. Additionally, nitrate is a nutrient that is often required for removal in wastewater treatment systems. The high binding affinity of this particular protein to nitrate could be useful in nitrate removal.
Notes
There are no restriction enzymes sites within the sequence that need to be mutated for standard Biobrick assembly.Source
