Design Notes

To design our own YIp (Yeast integrative plasmid) we needed to combine our initial Backbone with HO Homology Regions from the Open yeast collection. For facilitating the cloning process we uses Homology based cloning with the use of NEB Builder

The initial step in the assembly of all constructs is the addition of the corresponding homologous regions ( ScHR3p-HO/Ba_J435241 and ScHR5p-HO/BBa_J435242 Homology region) into the plasmid backbone pSB1C30. Thus we also have the Build phase in this cycle twice as we needed to perform two insertions and confirm that each of those was sucessfull.

How to build it youself from scratch: Gel standard from this page Duesseldorf 2023: n3200-thumb.gif

As we were conducting homology based cloning, linearization pSB1C30 and BBa_J435242 was necessary first and foremost.

Each of the two fragments has a 40bp homology to each other and were assemled as previously shown via homology based cloning (NEBuilder).



The resulting intermediate will look like this: psb1c30yiphr-ho5white.png


After yielding transformants, we perfomed a PCR to confirm if our insert was present. We also loaded the plasmid itself on-to a gel to confirm aproximate total size via gel electrophoresis.

As we were conducting Homology based cloning, we again needed to linearize our intermediate plasmid and [BBa_J435241]

Each of the two fragments had 40bp homology to each other and were assemled as previously told vie Homology Based cloning (NEBuilder).

This is the resulting intermediate plasmid: psb1c30yiphr-ho-psb1c30-based-yip-ho-homology-mapwhite.png

After yielding transformants we perfomed a PCR to confirm if our insert was present. We also loaded the Plasmid itself on the gel to confirm aproximate total size.

As it has been shown that linear DNA fragments have a much higher recombination frequency than if left in a circular plasmid, we decided that we wanted to linearize our Backbone via PCR in our design, not with restriction enzymes, as to not degrade potential cloning capabilities of the backbone.
