Plasmid backbone

BioBrickbackbonevspart.png

Plasmids are circular, double-stranded DNA molecules typically containing a few thousand base pairs that replicate within the cell independently of the chromosomal DNA. Plasmid DNA is easily purified from cells, manipulated using common lab techniques and incorporated into cells. Most BioBrick parts in the Registry are maintained and propagated on plasmids. Thus, construction of BioBrick parts, devices and systems usually requires working with plasmids.

Note: In the Registry, plasmids are made up of two distinct components:

  1. the BioBrick part, device or system that is located in the BioBrick cloning site, between (and excluding) the BioBrick prefix and suffix.
  2. the plasmid backbone which propagates the BioBrick part. The plasmid backbone is defined as the sequence beginning with the BioBrick suffix, including the replication origin and antibiotic resistance marker, and ending with the BioBrick prefix. [Note that the plasmid backbone itself can be composed of BioBrick parts.]

Many BioBrick parts in the Registry are maintained on more than one plasmid backbone!


The plasmids for B. Subtilis you can find in the registry are usually not built as standard registry plasmid so far. They come from third parties sources, that have been biobricked. Hence, these plasmid are often not silent. Cloning inside often works in different conditions than with standard E. coli plasmids. You may need to optimize again your ligation conditions.

As a particular drawback we noticed using replicative plasmids, is that they are often subject to recombination. We invite you to read in detail the experiment done and the peer review page before choosing a plasmid and a strategy.

There are 2 main kind of plasmids for B. Subtilis:

  • Replicative or also called episomal plasmids, are the same kind of plasmid with a replication origin and a resistance gene we are used to work with in E. Coli. These plasmids are often made to be multihost, so that they can be cloned using E. Coli and then the miniprep can be transformed into B. subtilis by starvation or electroporation. (Note that some replicative plasmids requires to be transformed into RecA+ E. Coli strains first before incorporating by starvation)
  • Integration plasmids is the most used technique by specialist in B. subtilis. They are E. Coli plasmids with two homologous sequence with two fragments of a chromosomal gene of B. Subtilis, and a resistance cassette inserted in between. If your brick is cloned in between these two homologous region, the vector act as a shuttle that integrate your construct into the chromosome.


Note that you should check your backbone and biobrick part sequence whether more than one side can be cut by same enzyme.You should not use if it has more than one same restriction enzyme site.

If you always see same bands in every gel images as different bp length from part page, you can try to transform your plasmid. Make sure that antibiotic you will use matches with which the backbone has..

And also if you see another band too, always at the same place and since first run. You can try transform your plasmid and check the viability when you exclude the possibility of contamination or any other things which can cause this problem in your lab. Another possibility could be that the part itself has already additional contaminated DNAs.

Constitutive promoters

ConstitutivePromoter.png

The promoters here are B. subtilis promoters that are constitutive meaning that the activity of these promoters should only be regulated by the levels of RNA polymerase and the appropriate σ factor.

The sequence of these promoter are adapted to the σ factor of B. subtilis. However, some of these promoter also works in E. coli. Generally speaking, standard E. coli promoters don't work (or are very weak) in B. subtilis strains, whereas the contrary generally works. However, it doesn't mean that the efficiency will be the same in both strains. The pVeg promoter, for instance, works fine at a high level of expression in both E. coli and B. subtilis strains - Contribution from User: Cyrpaut (31 October 2011)

Constitutive B. subtilis σA promoters

This section lists promoters that are recognized by B. subtilis σA RNAP. σA is the major B. subtilis sigma factor so there should be RNAP present to transcribe these promoters under most growth conditions (although maximally during exponential growth).

Positively regulated promoters

PositivePromoter.png

The B. subtilis promoters of this section is the ones that are said to be positively regulated. It means that meaning their expression level increase with the help of another third party protein called transcription activator (This category exclude the sigma factor protein itself). With the appropriate protein, you would be able to increase the activity of your promoter. Please read the description and characterization of each parts for more details.

Ribosome binding sites

B. subtilis have the same system of RBS than E. coli to drive its transcription. Hoever, the RBS sequences are not always compatible since B. subtilis ribsomomal RNA (rRNA) is slightly different in sequence compare to E. coli.

In this list, you can find the most common RBSs usually use in B. subtilis. They are classified by strengh in a qualitative manner, since no strengh reference ranking have been established for B. subtilis yet. It is not obvious to transport directly the system for E. coli since we need to have a promoter that is exactly the same strengh as an E. coli one to make both scales comparable between the organism.

We can also notice that E. coli RBSs usually doesn't works for B. subtilis, but it is not rare to find B. subtilis RBSs that works fine in E. coli (the SpoVg RBS for instance).

Please go in the description of each parts for more information.

Protein coding sequences

Protein coding sequences are DNA sequences that are transcribed into mRNA and in which the corresponding mRNA molecules are translated into a polypeptide chain. Every three nucleotides, termed a codon, in a protein coding sequence encodes 1 amino acid in the polypeptide chain. In some cases, different chassis may either map a given codon to a different sequence or may use different codons more or less frequently. Therefore some protein coding sequences may be optimized for use in a particular chassis.

In the Registry, protein coding sequences begin with a start codon (usually ATG) and end with a stop codon (usually with a double stop codon TAA TAA). Protein coding sequences are often abbreviated with the acronym CDS.

Although protein coding sequences are often considered to be basic parts, in fact proteins coding sequences can themselves be composed of one or more regions, called protein domains. Thus, a protein coding sequence could either be entered as a basic part or as a composite part of two or more protein domains.

  1. The N-terminal domain of a protein coding sequence is special in a number of ways. First, it always contains a start codon, spaced at an appropriate distance from a ribosomal binding site. Second, many coding regions have special features at the N terminus, such as protein export tags and lipoprotein cleavage and attachment tags. These occur at the beginning of a coding region, and therefore are termed Head domains.
  2. A protein domain is a sequence of amino acids which fold relatively independently and which are evolutionarily shuffled as a unit among different protein coding regions. The DNA sequence of such domains must maintain in-frame translation, and thus is a multiple of three bases. Since these protein domains are within a protein coding sequence, they are called Internal domains. Certain Internal domains have particular functions in protein cleavage or splicing and are termed Special Internal domains.
  3. Similarly, the C-terminal domain of a protein is special, containing at least a stop codon. Other special features, such as degradation tags, are also required to be at the extreme C-terminus. Again, these domains cannot function when internal to a coding region, and are termed Tail domains.

For more details on protein domains including how to assemble protein domains into protein coding sequences, please see Protein domains.


Protein coding sequences should be as follows

GAATTC GCGGCCGC T TCTAG [ATG ... TAA TAA] T ACTAGT A GCGGCCG CTGCAG


Note of the codon availability in B. subtilis: B. subtilis is more codon tolerent than E. coli, which means that you can generally express any protein from E. coli into B. subtilis without any problem. However, some proteins are said to be for subtilis for two reasons: One is because they comes from B. subtilis genome, (which means that you may have trouble in expressing them in E. coli) or because they are made to trigger a certain effect in B. subtilis (for instance kill it).

DNA parts for building integration vector

Any E. coli plasmid can be converted into an integration vector if one add two pieces of a a gene sequence that is homologous to a gene into B. subtilis genes, and an antibiotic resistance cassette or other screening method.

IntegrationAmyE.PNG
The AmyE integration DNA parts (BBa_K143001 and BBa_K143002) are two parts that can be added to the 5' and 3' ends of a construct to allow integration into the B. subtilis genome. These parts have been successfully used within the parts BBa_K143079 and BBa_K143082 for integration. Integrated synthetic biological systems offer better genetic stability and more regulated copy number than plasmid-borne systems. For more information about these parts, please see [http://2008.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College 2008 Imperial College iGEM team wiki.]
