Design

The sequences of our target genes were found in the CAZy data bank, where laccases are identified as enzymes from the Auxiliary Activity Family 1 (AA1):

To analyze and remove the introns, we used the FGENESH tool from Softberry. After that, to verify if the gene sequence expressed a functional protein we used the Translate toolfrom Expazy. There we confirmed our sequences as correct. Once our laccases are from fungi and we plan to express them into a bacterial chassis, we had to remove the signal peptide. To do so, we used the SignalP 4.1 tool from DTU Bioinformatics .

Completed this process we removed any restriction sites for EcoRI, NotI, PstI and SpeI from the gene. For the synthesis, we inserted an RBS sequence and the biobrick prefix and suffix, obtaining the following gene features:

Phoma sp:

Pleurotus ostreatus:

Our final biobrick construct constituted on the following parts:
