Description
Metallothionein is a heavy metal binding protein native to S. cerevisiae that can bind up to 11 copper atoms. This part contains the gene sequence for CUP1 that has been codon optimized for E. coli tRNA abundance.
Notes
In making a G Block for this gene to be synthesized, a 20 bp overlap with the plasmid pSB1C3 needed to be added to the ends of the sequence.
Source
The CUP1 gene comes from NCBI ID 856450 and is native to S. cerevisiae. The gene sequence was then codon optimized for E. coli tRNA abundance.
