Design Notes

The 20 amino acid residues in the C termial have been removed in the part sequence, ensuring cytoplasmic RdRp activity and no anchoring to the endoplasmic reticulum in human cells. Then it is fused with a nuclear localization signal (NLS) to direct the polymerase into the nucleus.


Source

We have one in stock at our lab, and it's consistent with the ducumented BBa_K1442100 of iGEM14_Warwick. It is supposed to have been derived from the Hepatitis C virus con1 strain, but we didn't refer to any public database.
