Design Notes

  • There are two Met codons at the N-terminus of the protein (putative codons 1 and 4). It is believed that the first Met codon is the actual start of the protein. Reference:

<biblio>

  1. Dudareva pmid=11051108

</biblio>

  • Bases 1-18 of the original A. majus sequence (gccggacgccaaagaaaa) were deleted. Thus, this sequence begins with the first start codon.
  • A silent mutation (A -> G) was made at base 702 to eliminate an SpeI cut site.
  • The original stop codon (TGA at bp 1093) was deleted and a double TAA stop was inserted

We got this cDNA from N Dudareva at Purdue.
