Design Notes

The system has been amplified without RBS and its natural promotor. Since that promotor has not been characterized as far as we know, several promoters will probably have to be tried to find one that provides stability without adding to much cost of expressing the toxin-antitoxin. There is also a version available with the natural promoter and RBS. The part still contains two illegal restriction sites for EcorI and SpeI. However since it doesn't matter where in your construct you put the system it can still be assembled with XbaI and PstI.
