Design Notes

Intein: The C terminal Acel-TerL intein was chosen to be used here as it’s N terminal regions is small (25 aa). As our construct can successfully be expressed even with the larger fusion it allows the smaller intein fragment to be used on the counterpart.

Reporter: The mScarlet protein was chosen due to it’s brightness and as it is known to be a fast folding protein making it an excellent reporter.

Modular design: SapI was chosen here as it leaves 3 bp overhangs simplifying the design of constructs as the overhang is maintained in frame.

Other design considerations:

Promotor: A T7 promotor (BBa_I712074) was chosen which can be induced with IPTG for strong expression.

Ribosome binding site: This RBS was generated using the sallis lab RBS calculator tool.

Regulatory elements: Contains a Lac operator which can be used to control leaky expression if needed.
