Design Notes

LacZa was placed first in discussion with Joey Davis (Sauer lab). The subunit interfaces of lacZ are at the N-terminal residues and also lacZa is shorter and doesn't have any potential internal translation start sites wheras GFP might have some in-frame RBS and ATG which could possibly lead to translation of lacZa without GFP if GFP were first.

The amino acid linker AGGSEGGGSEHHHHHHGSE is between the lacZa and GFP. The 6-his can also facilitate detection on a Western blot, for purification, etc. The start codon from GFP was removed.
