Kpn I cutting site

This part is the cutting site of the restriction endonuclease Kpn I. The endonuclease Kpn I can specifically recognize the sequence of this part and cut the double helix into two cohesive ends. You can use this part when you are trying to add an extra cutting site inside of your system in order to make it open-edited.

Part Description

Usage and Biology

The enzyme Kpn I is a restriction endonuclease found in Klebsiella pneumoniae . It can specifically recognize the sequence

...GGTACC...

...CCATGG...

And cut it into

...GGTAC C...

...C CATGG...

At the condition of 37 degrees Celsius.

In this part, we standardized the cutting sequence of the Kpn I so that a new cutting site can be added into a system conveniently to leave the system opened for further edit.

Cutting and Agarose Electrophoresis

Methods

After the assembly ,the plasmid was transferred into the Competent E. coli DH5α(which is dam+). After culturing overnight in LB,we minipreped the plasmid for cutting. The preparation of the plasmid was performed with TIANprep Mini Plasmid Kit from TIANGEN. The cutting procedure was performed with Kpn I restriction endonuclease bought from TAKARA.

The plasmid was cutted in a 20μL mixture at 37 ℃ for 2 hours. The Electrophoresis was performed on a 1% Agarose glu.

Results

The result of the agarose electrophoresis was shown on the following picture. As is shown, the plasmid contains BBa_K1532002 can be cut by the Kpn I enzyme under the given circumstances.
