Sequences and Restriction Sites

SopII

sensory rhodopsin II

DNA, AA, [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=gene&cmd=search&term=sopII genbank]

  • No IGEM restriction sites
  • HaeII (@168) present


HtrII

sensory rhodopsin II transducer

DNA, AA, [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=3702851&ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Gene.Gene_ResultsPanel.Gene_RVDocSum genbank]

  • No IGEM restriction sites
  • No useful restriction site


SopII/HtrII fusion

DNA, AA (frame 2 in Translate - only SopII + HtrII + Linker included in link), linker = TSASA SNGASA,

[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=gene&cmd=search&term=sopII genbank]

  • No IGEM restriction sites
  • Use site from SopII (this is the one that will be used)


ComP

two-component sensor histidine kinase

DNA (includes IGEM forward and reverse primers (VF2 + VR) and IGEM prefix and suffix, AA, [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=gene&cmd=search&term=sopII genbank]

SpeI (@927) deleted HaeII (@1902) inserted


ComA

sensory rhodopsin II transducer

DNA, AA, [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=gene&cmd=search&term=sopII genbank]

SpeI (@12) deleted HaeII (@433) inserted


Chimera Design

Overview

Refer to 4 PCR primer method here, 2001 paper

SopII Analysis

transmembrane photoreceptor, requires all-trans retinal as substrate... linked to HtrII insert TM analysis here. reference the three papers cited in background

HtrII Analysis

Yeh!!!! sequence analysis.

ComP Analysis

Chosen Fusion
