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.
