Design Notes

We noticed that, when cloning the DarR operator via hybridization oligos, it was difficult to obtain transformants. The DarR operator harbors a palindromic sequence which could form secondary structures. Such secondary structures might account for the inefficient transformations. When we used hybridization oligos for [Part: BBa_K1045012| BBa_K1045012] (a promoter sequence followed by the DarR operator) we did not observe these problems. Consequently, it might be recommendable to clone the DarR operator as a part of bigger sequences.

The sequence of this part corresponds to the sequence of the DarR operator upstream of darR, which was published by Zhang et al. in 2013. The part was generated using hybridization oligos purchased from Sigma-Aldrich.
