Design Notes

This part contains the native sequences of agrC-II and agrA from Staphylococcus aureus N315. Since these two parts are forming a two component system, this is actually a composite part. The basic parts agrCII and agrA can be yielded by using the NgoMIV or AgeI restriction sites with appropiate restriction sites in the pre- or suffix.

Source

This part is derived from Staphylococcus aureus N315 gDNA by PCR using primers with modified RFC25 prefix and suffix:

agrA-fwd: gatcgaattccgcggccgcttctagataaggaggagccggcATGAAAATTTTCATTTGCGAAGACG agrA-rev: gatcctgcagcggccgctactagtattaaccggtTATTTTTTTAACGTTTCTCACCG agrC-II-fwd: gatcgaattccgcggccgcttctagataaggaggagccggcTTGATTCCAACTTTTTCATCTATC agrC-II-rev: gatcctgcagcggccgctactagtattaaccggtGTTGTTAATAATTTCAACTTTTTGAATAAAG

The two intermediated parts agrA and agrC-II were then fused by using the restriction sites EcoRI and SpeI for agrA, as well as XbaI and PstI for agrC-II, and ligation into EcoRI and PstI cut pSB1C3, thus creating the composite part agrC-IIA.
