T7*(K1F) RNA polymerase

This part includes T7*(K1F) RNA Polymerase gene. This is orthogonal polymerases, based on T7 wt RNAP, that recognizes specifically a suitable promoter- pK1F. The T7*(K1F) RNA Polymerase was donated us by Chris Voight lab (see source). The T7*(K1F) RNA Polymerase is less toxic to host cells, than the T7 wt. In order to achieve reduced levels of toxicity, Chris and his team had added N-terminal degradation tag to the T7 wt polymerase to reduce its concentration in host E.coli cell and controlled the RNAP expression using a weak ribosome-binding site and ATG start codon. The specificity of the T7*(K1F) to pK1F was achieved by engineering a DNA binding domain within the RNA polymerase.
