Design Notes

The biobrick was created by amplifying a modified version of the pET102 vector with the following set of primers, followed by blunt ligation:

Forward primer: CGTCGCCGTCGCCGT-GAATGCGTGCGATCGCG

Reverse primer: GCGACGGCGACGCAT-GCGTATGTATATCTCCTTCTTAAAG

For creation of a biobrick version the following set of primers was sub-sequently used:

Forward primer: ATCCGGAATTCGCGGCCGCTTCTAG-ATGCGTCGCCGTCGCCGTCGCCGTCGCCGTGAATGCGTGCGATC

Reverse primer: CCAATGCATTGGTTCTGCAGCGGCCGCTACTAGTATTATTA-ATGGTGATGGTGATGATGTAAG

Source

The nona-arginine CPP-tags is of synthetic origin, and is inspired by viral transduction domains.
