Design Notes

fiatluxB did not have any mutation compare to iluxB, because no igem restriction site (EcoRI, XbaI, SpeI and PstI) were into the gene.

iluxB had mutations from luxB (S13P, V121A, N259D). They changed the protein sequence, in order to create a system that produced more light. The first and the last letters correspond to the Amino Acid before and after mutation, and the number indicates its position in the protein. These mutations were error-prone PCR induced according to Gregor et al.’s study in 2018.

Source

The source of fiatluxA was the ilux operon available in a pGEX plasmid. An overlap PCR was performed to reconstitute directly fiatluxABE fragments which had been cut by the restriction enzymes.
