Part:BBa_K2739007
LacP-RBS-PhaP-HlyA-Terminator
This composite part is improved from the composite part of BBa_K390501, LacP-RBS-PhaP-HlyA-Terminator, which the Phasin part sequencing result revealed a stop codon. This improved composite part has the stop condon removed.
Usage and Biology
Result
The in-frame fusion transcript of LacP-RBS-PhaP-HlyA-Terminator (BBa_K390501), which generates an open reading frame in the mRNA and allow the translation of the fusion proteins, were mentioned on its iGEM registry that it might not be correct. Due to the importance of the Phasin-HlyA in the PHB secretion system, it was re-sequenced by Edinburgh Genomics.
The result revealed the correct sequence of the in-frame fusion transcript but suggested that there was a stop codon at the end of the Phasin sequence. A stop codon in the reading frame would prevent the expression of the fusion protein Phasin-HlyA and lead to the failure of the PHB secretion in the engineered E.coli. A PCR strategy was used to remove the stop codon, with the set of PCR primers designed by team member, Qihui Lian (Table 4). In addition, a HindIII restriction enzyme site was designed on the overhang of the forward primer to allow later confirmation of successful stop codon removal because this site is not present in the original LPH Biobrick.
