Description
The amber mutations avoid the expression of the P1003 gene even at usual concentration that prevent the expression of kanamycin resistance, although one mutation (BBa_K914009) permits some leakage in translation for this gene. This mutation is rescued with the tRNA amber suppressor supD (BBa_K914000). The idea here is to prevent the kanamycin gene resistance to be expressed in case horizontal gene transfer.
Notes
I have need to design the primers that will introduce a mutation from a serine that was closer to the TAG codon (either 1, 2 or 3 mutations, here it was 1 and 2 mutations for both mutations), and it is necessary to have the amber codon in the middle of the coding sequence, not in the beginning, to be not interpreted as a alternative start codon for instance.

This part is made from the BBa_K914009 part from which I add a second mutation with the QuickChange Site-directed mutagenesis kit, Agilent.
