mn-SOD-ccdA-sgRNA sequence
Biology
ccdA is the gene found within the ccd operon, encoding the antidote protein (CcdA) that protects cells from the toxic effects of CcdB. Mn-SOD, a subtype of SOD, utilizes manganese (Mn) as a cofactor, existing in the form of a homotetramer. The expression of Mn-SOD gene in several insect species increased their survival at low temperatures (1). The gRNA is a short synthetic RNA composed of a scaffold sequence necessary for Cas-binding and a user-defined 20 nucleotide spacer (called N20 sequence) that decides the target genes to be modified. By changing the N20 sequence, one can change the gene target of the Cas protein.
Usage and design
For the biosafety and stress resistance of our project, we need to transfer the ccdA gene and the Mn-SOD gene into the DH10β genome, where the rne is located. We get our donor fragment by PCR.
Characterization
Agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE)
We linked the rne fragment of DH10β to the ccdA gene and the Mn-SOD gene through multiple rounds of PCR. At a position around 2098bp, a target band of approximately 3000bp was observed (Fig. 1).
