[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1951004 BBa_K1951004] : DesA producer
Part Composition:
This part is composed of 3 subparts :
- [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_I0500 I0500] : pARA/araC inductible promoter
- [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_B0034 B0034] : Ribosome Binding Site
- [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1951000 K195100O] : Lysine decarboxylase
Lysine decarboxylase DesA :
Lysine descarboxylase DesA from Streptomyces coelicolor is an enzyme from the lyase family that converts lysine to cadaverin. The enzyme realizes the carbonyl group of the lysin amino acid. Cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane) is a primary diamine which alkaline environment. The lysine decarboxylase is an enzyme induced the synthesis of which is promoted by anaerobiosis and an acidic pH.
In bacteriology, this enzyme is sought through the middle of Moeller lysine or medium lysine Taylor.
We registered the original sequence of this subpart in the iGEM registry of standard parts ([http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1951000 BBa_K1951000]). We optimized our sequence for E. coli and ordered the synthesis by addition of an inductible promoter.

Biosorption parts
[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1951008 BBa_K1951008] : FliC E. coli producer
Part Composition:
This part is a composite part composed of 2 Biobricks :
- [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1951005 BBa_K1951005] : Flagellin C
- [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K880005 BBa_K880005] : Strong promoter, strong RBS combination
Flagellin C from Escherichia coli
Flagellin C (FliC) protein from Escherichia coli strain is the main protein constitutive of the flagelar filament and is involved to promote bacterial swimming. This sequence is conserved in many bacterial strains. It has been demonstrated that flagellin has the ability to adsorb precious metal such as platinum or gold.
We made a FliC mutant by transduction using phage P1 in a E. Coli W3110 strain. Then we have complemented the fliC mutant W3110 with [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1951008 BBa_K1951008] and performed a swimming test for every background. The result has shown that swimming was recovered into the complemented fliC mutant W3110
Part Assembly:
The subparts were assembled using standard BioBrick Assembly.
Biobrick amelioration
This biobrick has been improoved from a previous one designed by Glasgow 2014 team. Please find the link of this biobrick below :

Instead of [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_J23106 BBa_J23106] and [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_J23116 BBa_J23116], we used strong promoter, strong RBS combination for high expression levels of the flagellin. By the combination of [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_Bba_K880005 BBa_Bba_K880005] and [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1951005 BBa_K1951005], we made a high flagellin expression vector able to recover swimming.

BBa_K1941010 : CsgA Escherichia coli producer
CsgA is the major and structural subunit of the curli fimbriae. Curli are coiled surface structures that assemble preferentially at growth temperatures below 37 degrees Celsius. Curli are the major proteinaceous component of a complex extracellular matrix produced by many Enterobacteriaceae. Curli were first discovered in the late 1980s on Escherichia coli strains that caused bovine mastitis, and have since been implicated in many physiological and pathogenic processes of E. coli and Salmonella spp. Curli fibers are involved in adhesion to surfaces, cell aggregation, and biofilm formation. Curli also mediate host cell adhesion and invasion, and they are potent inducers of the host inflammatory response. The biobrick contains a strong promotor.
