Design Notes

The start and stop codon of the CUP1 genomic sequences were removed in order to fuse the proteins together with the linker, Aga2 and V5. After having designed the dimer sequence and before synthetizing it, the full sequence was codon optimized by the software of the company that synthetized it to avoid loops during syntethis.


Source

The CUP1 sequence is the genomic sequence of the yeast copper metallothionein 1 protein (2). The linker sequence is the reverse transcription of the GGGGSEAAAKGGGGS amino acid sequence. The full CUP1-linker-CUP1 sequence was synthetized and inserted by Gibson Assembly in the pCTcon2-V5 plasmid (1) containing Aga2, V5 tag and the Gal1 promoter.
