Description
This BioBrick contains the coding sequence for part of the spider silk protein (SubunitN1) with Bacillus Subtilis ribosome binding site (RBS) infront of it.
The RBS is there to allow the ribosomes to bind and start to translate the DNA.
SubunitN1 codes for a spider silk protein that is optimized for maximal expression in Bacillus subtillus 168. The primary goal of the algorithm was to optimize the codon selection based on their availbility scores. The secondary goal was to prevent the formation of secondary RNA structures in close proximity to the RBS, and the tetrary goal was to minimize the number of restriction sites.
Notes
The DNA sequence was codon-optimized for Bacillus Subtilis. Moreover the nucleotide sequence was optimized in order to accomplish the production standard of IDT. A couple of optimized codons were affected by this.
Source
The amino acids sequence of the silk protein was obtained from MaSp2. The DNA sequence was synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT).
