CRISPR-based replication interference system for p15A plasmid copy number control, ini(-) site

This composite part uses a CRISPR-based DNA replication interference system for the copy number control of the p15A plasmid. The dCas9 is expressed in an inducible manner with a ssrA degradation tag fused to its C-terminal to minimize the basal expression. The sgRNA has a 20-bp complementary sequence with the top strand (complementary to the strand that replication activator (RNA II) binds to) of initiation site (+1) on p15A origin. It can efficiently downregulate the plasmid copy number but has some unexpected leackage.
