Design Notes

To create the BioBrick part the sequence was amplified with primers containing the standard prefix with ATG and the fusion suffix of the Fusion Protein Assembly Standard.

Forward primer (5’->3’): (41bp)
GGATCCgaattcgcggccgcttctagATGGTTTCCGGAGTC

Reverse primer (5’->3’): (52 bp)
CAGCTGctgcagcggccgctactagtattaaccggtGCTCGGGATTTGCAAG

In order to get a sequence without an internal restriction sites of one of the BioBrick standards the SpeI-restriction site was altered without changing the encoded amino acid (ACT=Threonine (AC(T,A,G,C)). (We had to delete one SpeI restriction site by directed mutagenesis on position 2313.)

Primers for Pfu-mutagenese:
Forward primer (5’->3’): (28 bp)
GGACAAGACGTTACGAGTCAGAAAATCG

Reverse primer (5’->3’): (28 bp)
CGATTTTCTGACTCGTAACGTCTTGTCC

The plasmid containing the PhyB-sequence was provided by the laboratory of Wilfried Weber from the University of Freiburg.
