Re:

... he wants is primer for cloning, not for sequencing. Imagine you have sequence ATG GTC ATC GTC TGA GTC and first three amino acids belong to signal peptide (in reality it's much longer). In such case, you want your primer to start at GTC and go on further. By lipoprotein motif he probably meant ...
