Design Notes

Planning the design of two different FokI-heterodimers

  • extract coding region of Fok from the restriction-modification genes of the chromosomal DNA of Flavobacterium okeanokoites [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/148723?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Sequence.Sequence_ResultsPanel.Sequence_RVDocSum F.okeanokoites fokIR and fokIM genes]
  • delete the first 1158 nucleotides/386 aa (recognition domain)
  • switch Cystein 541/463-465 to Ser (TGT->TCT)

Modifications of the single vectors to introduce heterodimeric modifications according to [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17603475 Miller J, Rebar E Nature biotech 2007]

Modifications of the first vector (catalytic active heterodimer)
-heterodimeric aminio acids

  • switch Glutamate 490/310-312 to Lysin (GAA->AAA)
  • switch isoleucin 538/454-456 to Lysin (ATC->AAA)


Modifications of the second vector (catalytic inactive heterodimer)
-heterodimeric amino acids

  • switch Glutamin 486/298-300 to Glutamate (CAA->GAA)
  • switch Isoleucin 499/337-339 to Leucin (ATC->CTG)

-catalytic amino acids

  • switch Aspartate 450/190-192 to Alanin (GAC->GCG)
  • switch Aspartate 467/243-245 to Alanin (GAT->GCG)


Annotations:

  • The notation e.g. for Cystein 541/463-465 means the amino acid 541 in literature which correspond to the codons 463-465 in our vector.
  • For exchanging the amino acids we used the Codon usage table in E.coli from Hénaut and Danchin. [http://www.faculty.ucr.edu/~mmaduro/codonusage/codontable.htm E.coli Codon Usage]


Designed according the assembly standard 25 RFC 25
