Description
Synthesizes 3OC6HSL, which binds to LuxR. No LVA tag.
Directly downstream of the ATG is 21 base pairs translated into 7 amino acids not seen at the beginning of wild-type LuxI (C0161). These base pairs will be mutated from this "optimized wild-type" sequence to become an AsiSI restriction site, a 5 bp-spacer, and an AscI restriction site. These two restriction sites will allow for unique coding sequences to easily be swapped out of the gene. This "optimized wild-type" sequence acts as a positive control before adding in the restriction sites or additional coding sequences.
Notes
The amino acid sequence is the same as wild-type LuxI, but the DNA sequence optimized for Escherichia coli codon bias. 21 base pairs have been added after the start codon (ATG) that will be altered to create two 8-nt restriction enzyme sites and a spacer in order to add in base pairs directly after the start codon.
