Design Notes
The secondary structure is important to the function of these regions, but part of the wt secondary structure is destroyed by the scar. We've tried to alter the sequence so the predicted structure (through mfold and those kind of servers) is sort of conserved, but temperature sensitivity still has to be tested. If it doesn't work, possible solution might be the addition of a larger conserved part of the wt, which implies a small part of wt protein sequence as well.

This sequence is taken from the Bradirhizobium Japonicum ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=genome&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=272 NC_004463]) as the 5'UTR (ROSE) of a heat shock protein.
