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:

2. Reverse primer (5' -> 3'): GTT TCT TCC TGC AGC GGC CGC TAC TAG TA TTA TTA TCT CCT ACT TAG AGA AAC TAC

• 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
