All cyanobacteria produce energy via photosynthesis. To do this they must import CO2 from outside the cell and one of the most important proteins in this process is CmpA.

CmpA forms the first part of the CmpABCD operon, coding for proteins that allow dissolved Carbon Dioxide to be transported into cyanobacteria for use in photosynthesis. The diagram shows how a lipid region in the phospholipid bilayer anchors CmpA, and the binding cleft is shown. CmpB is an integral channel protein, and CmpC and D are ATPases to drive the active transport, as well as CmpC controlling the transport rate.</p>

A basic part is a functional unit of DNA that cannot be subdivided into smaller component parts. BBa_R0051 is an example of a basic part, a promoter regulated by lambda cl.

Most genetically-encoded functions have not yet been converted to BioBrick parts. Thus, there are many opportunities to find new, cool, and important genetically encoded functions, and refine and convert the DNA encoding these functions into BioBrick standard biological parts.

Note

This page should list all the basic parts your team has made during your project. You must add all characterization information for your parts on the Registry. You should not put characterization information on this page.
