Design Notes

This sequence was optimized for E. coli K12 using the Codon Optimization Tool from the IDT website.

The T7 promoter was used in order to have strong, inducible transcription, in conjunction with NEB’s T7 Express lysY/Iq Competent E. coli.

RBS 34 was used for standard efficiency.

The GGS linker was used to prevent the His-tag from interfering with the folding of PETase.

The His-tag was included for His-tag purification.

T7 promoter: BBa_I712074

RBS: BBa_B0034

PETase, originally named ISF6_4831, comes from Ideonella sakaiensis, identified in "A bacterium that degrades and assimilates poly(ethylene terephthalate)" (Yoshida et al. 2016).
