Design Notes

Codon optimised for E. coli.

The linker between MymT and sfGFP is short and hydrophilic (GlySerGlySerGlySer) to allow the protein domains to fold separately.

CueR is expressed divergent form the pCopA promoter.

Source

The source organism for the MymT protein sequence is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The CueR and pCopA components of the promoter originate from E. coli.

We ordered this part as codon optimised DNA from IDT.
