II. Binding
This part is designed to enable the binding of Bacillus subtilis to the fungi wall made of chitin.
Design
This part is composed of a Cell Wall Binding (CWB) sequence
and a Chitin Binding Domain (CBD) linked with a 6 amino acids linker.
The CWB domain has been extracted from LytC (BBa_K316030) of the iGEM 2010 Imperial College team.
The CBD is composed of the Domain 4 of the GbpA protein of Vibrio cholerae,
a protein reported to mediate bacterial attachment to chitin.
It has been shown that the Domain 4 was essential to bind chitin.

EcAMP-1
EcAMP-1 is an antimicrobial peptide of 37 amino acids
originated from the specie Echinochloa crus-galli,
a type of wild grass.
This peptide has a particular structure : it is helical because of two disulfide bonds.
EcAMP-1 has shown to have antifungal activities. Its mode of action may be the prevention of hyphae elongation.
This part was added to the Registry by the iGEM Utah State team in 2013.
Design
This part is composed of the constitutive promoter Pveg and
strong RBS for B. subtilis
(K733013) and
the open reading frame of EcAMP-1.
The EcAMP-1 part was codon optimized for E. coli by the iGEM Utah State team
and thanks to the Life Technologies GeneArt software program.

We observed the presence of the stop codon in the suffix. When we have digested this Biobrick, it disappeared. So we added this codon in upstream of the suffix and now, we can reuse this Biobrick.

PlepA is a constitutive promoter in Bacillus subtilis (BBa_K823002) coupled with a RBS spoVG (BBa_K143021). To get the highest level of translation from this Promoter-RBS combination it must be connected to a coding region preceded by a coding region prefix. A standard prefix will increase the distance between the RBS and the start codon, reducing translational efficiency. This construction is also working with E. coli and has been verified by sequencing.
