BioBrick mdnED

Part name: BBa_K627000
Part type: Coding
Short description: ABC transporter and N-acetyltransferase

Full description:
The BioBrick mdnED is a part of the whole microviridin gene (mdn) cluster, which encodes the protease inhibitor microviridin L. Microviridins are tricyclic depsipeptides, which are ribosomally synthesized by the cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa (Ziemert et al., 2010). They have a promising potential for therapy as they can block disease-relevant proteases (Ziemert et al., 2008).

Microviridins are synthesized from a ribosomal precursor peptide (MdnA). Additionally, the microviridin L biosynthesis gene cluster consists of genes encoding an ATP-grasp-type ligase (mdnB and mdnC) and genes, which encode an ABC transporter (mdnE) and a N-acetyltransferase of the GNAT family (mdnD) (Ziemert et al., 2008).

In the following BioBrick mdnED the genes mdnD (N-acetyltransferase of the GNAT family) and mdnE (ABC transporter) is encoded (Ziemert et al., 2008).

Source of the part:
The BioBrick mdnDE as a part of the microviridin gene (mdn) cluster was isolated from Microcystis aeruginosa strain NIES-843.

Design information:
This biobrick was built by PCR using the following PCR primers
Forward primer: TAAATGAATTCGCGGCCGCTTCTAGATGCCTCAATATACTACTAAAC
Reverse primer: ATTTCTGCAGCGGCCGCTACTAGTATCAGCAAACCCTACTTAATTTC
To insert mdnED in the vector pSb1C3, the resulting PCR product and the vector were digested with the restriction enzymes, EcoRI and SpeI.

Because this BioBrick is an expression part, the adenin of mdnE gene's start codon is part of the XbaI recognition site.
