Design Notes

This part was based on the native VVD protein from (Neurospora crassa). The VVD36 coding sequence was generated by removing the first 36 amino acid residues and appending a start codon to the start of this truncated sequence. The cystine residue at position 73 (TGC) was then changed to alanine by changing the codon to GCC to yield VVD36-C73A.

This part was intended for use in pK18 as a test of our codon harmonisation model. To achieve this, the part was ordered in a gBlock flanked by EcoRI and HindIII sites to enable traditional restriction cloning into pK18. A RBS sequence was added to the gBlock upstream of the part. The RBS sequence used was the consensus Shine-Dalgarno sequence.

Source

The native sequence for VVD (Neurospora crassa) was obtained from NCBI: GenBank accession AF338412.1
