Design Notes

Fox-1 amino acid sequence was retrieved from NCBI, and residues 109–208 corresponding to the RNA Binding Domain (RBD) were used following the Literature’s materials and methods [1]. As an N-HisTag from pET-28(a) was used in materials and methods, its amino acid sequence was added in the N-Terminal of Fox-1 RBD. The Fox-1 RBS sequence was codon-optimized for expression in Escherichia coli using the GenSmartTM Codon Optimization Tool. The forbidden restriction enzymes sites were the following: BioBrick forbidden restriction sites (EcoRI, BglII, XhoI, BamHI). They were designed to be cloned with Gibson Assembly into pBbB7a backbone.

Source

Plasmids used were from BglBrick repository. pBbB7a-GFP was a gift from Jay Keasling (Addgene plasmid # 35358; http://n2t.net/addgene:35358 ; RRID:Addgene_35358) [2]. Please refer to the Addgene page for more information about licences associated with the use of the plasmid.
