Design Notes

BBa_P1016 differs from BBa_P1010 in that the DNA encoding the mutated antitoxin CcdA protein (ccdA-) has been deleted since it is extraneous to the function of this part as a positive selection marker.

BBa_P1016 differs from BBa_P1011 in that the mutations introduced in BBa_P1011 to remove restriction sites are not present in this part (thus the coding region of ccdB is similar to commercially available versions of ccdB). It does have the "normal" ccd promoter and ccdB coding region. It also has a double TAA stop codon as per BioBrick conventions.

Source

This part was designed based on BBa_P1010 but it lacks ccdA-. It was synthesized via direct synthesis by Codon Devices, Inc. in Cambridge, MA as a part of a larger part BBa_I51020.
