Design Notes

This composite part is consisted PhaR. This part was designed to allow the investigation of its relation and PHA production through PHA operon with and without phasin. Sequence of PhaR and its native promoter could be found in iGEM registry, as a basic parts (BBa_K108015) and being not available. The source of this sequences were recorded as 1. Regulation of phasin expression and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) granule formation in Ralstonia eutropha H16. Microbiology. 2002, 148:2413–2426. and 2. NCBI (with no further information), having no mentioned if the sequence was codon optimised.

We access the online NCBI data and found out the current available phaR sequence (AM260479.1) is being 4 bp different to BBa_K108015. Therefore we have used the new phaR and promoter sequence as our new template. Due to the excessive GC in the sequence, we have it codon optimised to E.coli and generated the part through the IDT company service.
