Lysine descarboxylase DesA from ''Streptomyces coelicolor'' is an enzyme from the lyase family that converts lysine into cadaverin. The enzyme releases the carbonyl group of the lysin amino acid. Cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane) is a primary diamine which alkaline environment. Acidic pH and an anaerobic environment both induce the synthesis of Lysine decarboxylase.
+
This DNA sequence codes a [http://metacyc.org/gene?orgid=META&id=SCO2782 Lysine decarboxylase] (''Streptomyces coelicolor'') which is an enzyme from the lyase family that converts lysine into cadaverine. The enzyme releases the carbonyl group of the lysin amino acid. Cadaverine (or 1,5-diaminopentane) is a primary diamine which renders the medium alkaline. The lysine decarboxylase is an enzyme whose synthesis is promoted by anaerobiosis and an acidic pH.  
−
In bacteriology, this enzyme is sought through the middle of Moeller lysine or medium lysine Taylor.

This enzyme is also the first step in the production of desferrioxame B which is a siderophore.

Previous work showed that siderophores are able to catch other metals by default. Especifically, many articles showed a high affinity of Desferrioxamine B ( produce by ''Streptomyces coelicolor'') for tetravalent metal ions like platinum. These results encouraged us to make a biobrick coding the sequence corresponding to the 4 enzymes involved on the metabolic pathway of Desferrioxamine B. <i>E. coli</i> was used to produce this biobrick. Produce a gram positive bacteria pathway in a gram negative bacteria is restrictive <ref> Wandersman & Delepaire https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15487950  </ref> , considering the risk of toxicity for the conductress bacteria. To counter this potential issue, we regulate trasnscription using the control of an inductible promotor (pBAD/araC).

We made a FliC mutant by transduction using phage P1 in a ''E. Coli'' W3110 strain.

The result has shown that swimming was recovered into the complemented ''fliC'' mutant W3110

We constructed a fliC deletion mutant that is unable to swim, from the wild-type strain W3110. The ability to swim was restored to this mutant by our biobrick, as can be seen in the illustration here. This demonstrated that the protein can be correctly inserted into flagella and functions.

CsgA is the major 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.
