Design Notes

The normal operon structure is luxCDABE. This part is derived from an earlier (non-BioBrick) project, in which the luxCD genes were fused to luxE so that the aldehyde biosynthesis machinery could be induced separately from the luciferase. An XbaI site must be removed from within luxD.


Source

As part of an earlier project, the luxCD and luxE regions were separately amplified from genomic DNA of Xenorhabdus luminescens Hb (NCIMB 12670) and joined at a NotI site to create an artificially reduced luxCDE operon. This was tested and was found to work well in E. coli. The part shown here was made by amplifying this using primers which added the BioBrick prefix and suffix.
