Depositor Comments

Please note- The numbering system used was for the mature natural wild-type ssb protein. The N-terminal methionine is quantitatively cleaved off in E. coli and was not numbered so all mutations will be off by 1 nucleotide (e.g., W89C = W88C).

The expressed protein is a single-cysteine variant of E. coli single-stranded DNA-binding protein, EcSSB, for subsequent labeling at the cysteine. The adduct with Cy3B maleimide has been used as a biosensor for single-stranded DNA in TIRF microscopy measurements.
