Design Notes
Frustrating point mutation (T to C) atnulceotide 706 converting a Val to Ala residue in the CusR DNA binding domain. The reading frame is not affected.
Codon optimised to E. coli. A BspH1 restriction site was included at the start codon of the sfGFP so that other proteins with a compatible start (such as the copper chelators we ligated into our pBAD vector) could be ligated into this location
Source
CusR and pCusC originate from the E. coli genome. Ordered as codon optimised DNA from IDT.
