Description
This part codes for the fnr protein, a transcriptional activator in E. coli that is sensitive to oxygen levels. The protein is has an iron-sulfur code that, when bound to oxygen, undergoes a conformational change that reduces its ability to activate transcription. This particular coding sequence includes a nuclear localization sequence at the N-terminus (for application in eukaryotes) and a stop codon.
Notes
NLS sequences were inserted at the N terminus of the sequence in order to minimize negative effects on the functionality of the protein.
Source
The 753-bp FNR coding sequence was isolated from K-12 DH10B E. coli, as reported on the E. coli Wiki and the Generic Genome Browser (http://ecoliwiki.net/colipedia/index.php/fnr:Gene). The coding sequence for the NLS was obtained from Clontech???s pGAD424 plasmid, which is used to carry out 2 hybrid assays.
