The collection consists of the BioBrick mussel foot protein (MFP) 1-5-1 sequence (combination of Mytilus galloprovincialis Foot Protein 5 (Mgfp-5) and Mytilus Edulis Foot Protein1 (Mefp-1)). The second BioBrick is the MFP with superfolder Green Fluorescence Protein (sfGFP). The third BioBrick is the MFP with our antimicrobial peptide of interest, LL-37. Finally, the fourth BioBrick is our entire construct of our antimicrobial peptide: 2XStrep_Flagtag_LL-37_Mussel Foot Protein_sfGFP. All biobricks are in the pSB1C3 plasmid.

The part is an coding sequence for an anti-microbial peptides linked to a mussel-foot protein-linked to superfolder GFP for localization. The mussel foot protein will anneal to surfaces as a wet glue and the antimicrobial domain is designed to interact with microbial membranes and interfere with membrane stability. In order to use this part you can produce it in a TAG recoded organism simultaneously expressing a Tyrosine supressor or L-DOPA orthogonal translational system. In order to purify you can use the 2X Strep tag and strep column and later cleave with enterokinase to remove the sequence supressing LL-37 antimicrobial action.
