Design Notes

This composite part is consisted PhaR and its native promoter. This part was designed to investigate its relation in PHA production through PHA operon with and without phasin. The promoter used in this part is native to phaR and R.eutropha. Sequence of PhaR and its native promoter could be found in iGEM registry, as two separate basic parts (BBa_K108015 and BBa_K108014) and being not available. The source of these sequences were recorded as 1. Regulation of phasin expression and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) granule formation in Ralstonia eutropha H16. Microbiology. 2002, 148:2413–2426. and 2. NCBI (with no further information), having no mentioned if the sequence was codon optimised.

We access the online NCBI data and found out the current available phaR sequence is being 4 bp different to BBa_K108015; and the functional promoter is being 134bp shorter. Therefore we have used the new phaR and promoter sequence as our new template. Due to the excessive GC in the sequence, we have it codon optimised to E.coli and generated the part through the IDT company service.
