Design Notes

After synthesis, in order to build our sensor the part was introduced in pPIC9K plasmid to allow its genomic recombination into the Pichia pastoris genome, substituting the original PAOX1 found in the yeast. The sequenced was modified to remove restriction sites, making it compatible to RFC10.

The RFP condon optimized was done using GeneScript tools at http://www.genscript.com/tools.html and the sequence from the biobrick BBa_E1010.

This part does not have a combined biobrick version with the Mxr1 because both must be inserted in different locations at the Pichia pastoris genome in order to work properly.
