Design Notes

Planning the design of two different FokI-heterodimers
For the catalytic active Fok partner, named Fok_a, the first 1158 nucleotides, i.e. the recognition domain, were deleted and glutamate 490 was switched to lysine (GAA->AAA) as well as isoleucine 538 to lysine (ATC->AAA) for the heterodimer formation

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]
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 with Biobrick pre-and suffix for fusion proteins according the RFC 25
Commented GenBank file

Source of the protein was the coding region of FokI from the restriction-modification genes of the chromosomal DNA of
