Design Notes
We performed codon optimization on this gene sequence to use it in yeast. And then we modified some sites to deleted some enzyme cutting sites.

CikA is from the the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 and naturally controls the phosphorylation of RpaA. In vivo, CikA will bind to the KaiBC complex during the subjective night and dephosphorylate RpaA via its phosphatase activities.
