EcoRI and PstI were removed after cloning by side directed mutagenesis in order to keep the RFC[10] compatibility.

The signal peptide has a conformation enabling the protein addressing to the membrane.
This sequence is cut after the translocation into membranes.
If the OmpX gene is used without any modification, the leucine zipper gene is inserted in between the signal peptide and the coding sequence of OmpX, thus generating a cleavage of the signal peptide and the insertion of the fusion protein LeucineZipper-OmpX into the outer membrane.


Euromedex BACTH kit contains the pUT18 plasmid with a MCS cassette followed by the T18 subpart of the Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase. It allows the cloning of the protein of interest in fusion with the T18 subpart. To respect RFC rules, the plasmid has been amplificated by PCR using primers that bind from either site of the MCS cassette to eliminate it. Those primers contain also restriction sites enabling the cloning of the protein in the system. The plasmid was digested by the corresponding enzymes and the protein gene was inserted.

Source

T18 is from bordetella pertussis
Ompx is from Escherichia coli
pUT18 plasmid from Euromedex BACTH kit was used (containing the T18 subpart and the leucine zipper gene).
OmpX gene and GGS linker were synthesized by IDT because they were unavailable on iGEM plates.
