Design Notes

fiatluxA did not have any mutation compare to iluxA, because no igem restriction site (EcoR1, Xba1, Spe1 and Pst1) were into the gene.

iluxA had mutations from luxA (K22E, T119A, S178A). They changed the protein sequence, in order to create a system that produced more light. The first and the last letters correspond to the Amino Acid before and after mutation, and the number indicates its position in the protein. These mutations were error-prone PCR induced according to Gregor et al.’s study in 2018.

Source

The source of fiatluxA was the ilux operon available in a pGEX plasmid. An overlap PCR was performed to reconstitute directly fiatluxABE fragments which had been cut by the restriction enzymes.
