Mutant T7 RNAP - T7*

This part includes an engineered T7 RNAP with a RBS, the RNAP recognizes specifically a suitable promoter (pT7). The mutant T7 RNAP was donated us by Chris Voight. The T7 RNAP part contains a weak ribosome binding site and 'GTG' start codon . The native T7 RNAP differs from the mutant one by its toxicity for the host cell- the mutant have a low toxicity than the native one (according to Voight's article), this treat for low toxicity was accrued by a Spontaneous mutation, within the active site, during the cloning and doesn’t reduce the RNAP activity.
