Part:BBa_K2442397

GFP C-term split subunit (GFP2)

Design

We designed a PCR reaction to generate a C-terminal GFP2 part from E0040 which would work alongside the existing N-terminal GFP1 part K1789003 made by NUDT_CHINA 2015. Primers were designed to amplify the coding sequence of the 83 aa C-terminal fragment as a biobrick compatible part.

Figure 1: Split GFP C-terminal (GFP2) amplification primers. All sequences represented 5’-3’. Colours denote features: blue text = flanking DNA; yellow highlight = Biobrick prefix (F) or suffix (R); purple = new start codon; unformatted text = annealing section of primer. Underlined sequence denotes an error that is discussed in the results section.

Sequencing of the PCR for the GFP C-terminal part revealed an error – the PCR design had incorporated an incorrect version of the BioBrick prefix.

Figure 2: A Biobrick prefix error in GFP C-term part.</b> Alignment of a sequencing read of the split GFP C-terminal to a reference sequence plasmid map. The bases highlighted in red indicate an insertion has occurred at those positions relative to the reference sequence. The insertion corresponds to the use of the “long” Biobrick prefix, rather than the short version which should precede ATG-starting parts. Alignments performed in ApE.
