<p>The IDT plasmid contains the lac-promoter so it is possible to do test expression directly with IPTG. However due to the way the final product is created, the UnaG sequence had a 50% chance to be incorporated in reverse, which was the case. Therefore different BioBrick promoters were extracted from the 2016 distribution to test for expression. Those include a medium constitutive promoter (<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:

<p>After successfully obtaining UnaG assembled with a variety of promoters, mutagenesis was performed in order to create several variants of the BioBrick for future use.

In this part, the six amino acids were removed (again through PCR), as well as the Serine linker in between. This part has been designed for studying the properties of the protein in vivo, since the high positive charge of the affinity tag could interfere with its function or localization. At each step of the experiments, sequencing was performed using the iGEM standard VF2 and VR verification primers to ensure CDS integrity and especially to avoid introduced frameshift mutations.</p>

Since summers are always too short in Sweden, there was not enough time for the Uppsala 2016 iGEM team to test this UnaG BioBrick as thoroughly as the BBa_K2003010 was tested. However, BBa_K2003011 was made by PCR mutagenesis with the BBa_K2003010 BioBrick as template. BBa_K2003011 is therefore expected to function similarly to BB_K2003010 during expression.
