Design Notes

Design and Construction of pnirB-Invasin

pnirB-invasin was constructed by extension PCR of the invasin gene from BBa_K299812 using BBPrefix-pnirB as the forward primer and a reverse primer for the end of invasin fused to BBSuffix (invendBBSuffixLonger) (Figure 1). BBPrefix-pnirB-invasin-BBSuffix was then amplified into Junk-BBPrefix-pnirB-invasin-BBSuffix-Junk using FP_BBP_Junk and RP_BBS_Junk (Figure 2). Junk-BBPrefix-pnirB-invasin-BBSuffix-Junk was then cloned into pSB1C3 by restriction digest with EcoRI and PstI followed by ligation and transformation into E. coli BL21. The clone was confirmed with colony PCR of Biobricks Prefix/Suffix primers and internal primers invlloF1/InvendBBsuffixlonger (Figure 3).

Figure 1: PCR of the template plasmid BBa_K299812 was performed with BBPrefixpnirBinv and invendBBSuffix to add the nirB promoter to the invasin fragment. Lanes 1-3 show the 2.9 kb product, while lane 4 is the 1 kb ladder.

The invasin gene from Yersinia is derived from BBa_K299812 [2] and the pnirB promoter is derived from Jayaraman et al. (1988).
