Design Notes

If you intend to use this part, be aware that CsgA might be toxic to E. coli cells in large quantities. We were unable to clone csgA in front of the strong promoter J23119 or the weaker promoter J23114

Source

A strong RBS desgined by team Paris Bettencourt 2009 and the coding region for the csgA gene as found in the genome of the E. coli strain MC4100 were synthesized by Genecust. An illegal restriction site was removed by introducing a silent mutation. This direct synthesis was then cloned downstream of the K342000 promoter by standard assembly.
