Description
This is the LacI repressor from E.coli tagged with yeast codon optimized BFP. LacI will bind with high specificity to the the operator lacO and is inhibited in the presence of IPTG. BFP is a monomeric fluorescent protein that has an excitation peak of 399 nm and an emission peak of 465 nm. It was yeast codon optimized through DNA synthesis for the purpose of expressing in S. cerevisiae tagged to various repressors and activators.
This is an updated version of BBa_K642001 that is functional in S. cerevisiae.
Notes
In order to remove the illegal XbaI site, site-directed mutagenesis was performed, changing nucleotide 255 from a thymine to a cytosine, and also changing nucleotide 258 from an adenine to a glycine.
