Design Notes

Mst-CopC is known to contain three critical residues for copper binding, one of which is a histidine found at the N-terminus. Therefore, it is important to ensure this residue is preserved within our fusion protein, or binding would likely be significantly impacted. In order to introduce a cut site that would not impede binding, we introduced a modified TEV cut site at the N-terminus such that TEV protease cleaves the amino acid sequence right before the N-terminus histidine of Mst-CopC. Additionally, all cut sites for RFc 10 and NdeI/BamHI (required for cloning into pET 11a) were removed. Then a 5-poly-AT + NdeI prefix and a BamHI + 5-poly-AT suffix were added to facilitate cloning into the pET 11a vector by standard assembly. Lastly, the prefix and suffix for RFc 10 were appended.
