Yellow Firefly Luciferase (under pBAD)
L. Cruciata
(E. coli optimised)

Input: L-Arabinose Output: Light (yellow)

pBad/araC I0500 mutated version of Luciferase/LRE K325210

Description
This part is based on part BBa_K325219. Two site-directed mutagenesis events have been carried out on the luciferase, an Asn286 Ser mutation was used to create part BBa_K325209 which is the green wild-type luciferase. Then a Pro452Ser mutation was used to create a yellow bioluminescence.

Colour of emission

Compatibility
Chassis: Device has been shown to work in Top 10 (Invitrogen)
Plasmids: Device has been shown to work on pSB1C3

Assembly standards

This part is based on Part BBa_K325219. We resynthesised this part to remove three PstI restriction sites, making it compatible with BioBrick assembly standards 10 and 23.

Unfortunately, in the process of mutagenesis to create the colour change a SpeI site was introduced at site 3044. We have ordered primers to remove this site by a substitution from T->C at base 3046. BBa K325259 (planning) will be the successor to this part compatible with Assembly Standards 10 and 23. Unfortunately we did not have time to complete this before the submission deadline, therefore the part will be submitted during November 2010. In the meantime it is possible to use this part with RFC 57.
