ftsZ gene from E. coli on pSB1C3


Assembly Compatibility:
  • 10
    COMPATIBLE WITH RFC[10]
  • 12
    COMPATIBLE WITH RFC[12]
  • 21
    COMPATIBLE WITH RFC[21]
  • 23
    COMPATIBLE WITH RFC[23]
  • 25
    INCOMPATIBLE WITH RFC[25]
    Illegal AgeI site found at 322
  • 1000
    COMPATIBLE WITH RFC[1000]


Design Notes

There is an illegal EcoR1 restriction site at bp 102-107 of the gene. We changed the C at site 107 to a T, which maintained the codon optimization and removed the illegal restriction site.
