Design Notes

Pfam (version 26.0) was used to predict the domain of fusion protein. Linker was refereed and modified from previous research study of SRI fusion with HtrII.

Restriction sites of HindIII and BamHI were added before and after the SRII gene respectively for two reasons. 1. Enable further integration of other peptides (e.g.: His-tag), for the construction of a larger fusion protein. (HindIII for N-terminal while, BamHI for C-terminal) 2. Enable for switching the sensory rhodopsin portion of the fusion protein. According to previous study. [2] A series of mutant sensory rhodopsins have been identified which covers a large variation of absorbing spectrum. These two restriction sites allow further switching of the sensing unit, so the light sensing system can be tuned for sensing different kinds of light source.


The speI RE site after the promoter was kept so that the constitutive promoter can be switched to strictly controlled promoters such as PTET, tetracycline-inducible promoter; PBAD, arabinose-inducible promoter.
