Design Notes

This sequence is a transcription factor working with Modified-Gal promoter. In the absence of β-estradiol, the Z4EV zinc finger protein is sequestered in the cytoplasm by HSP90. If B-estradiol is added, the Z4EV protein dissociates from the HSP90, revealing a nuclear localization signal (NLS) that translocates the protein to the nucleus and activating the Z4EV promoter. Activation of the Z4EV promoter activates transcription of the vika enzyme which in turn cut the vox site of cu and RFP plasmids.

We obtain it from Gene synthesis company after codon optimization.
