Int2 attB_221R_int2 attP

To test the influence of attBP sites of Int2 to terminator ECK120030221 (abbreviation: 221) in the reverse direction.


Usage and Biology

Usage

We constructed this part to characterize the recombination efficiency of the integrase Int2. It consists of the terminator ECK120030221 (abbreviation: 221) in the reverse direction flanked by attB and attP sites of recombinase Int2. Upon recombination, the orientation of the terminator changes. As a result, expression of downstream sequence is blocked.

Biology

The attP site of Int2 is used to integrate phage DNA at the host attB site, generating the recombinant junctions attL and attR. DNA cleavage and re-ligation occur at the central crossover region at attB and attP, which allows the sequence to be flipped, excised, or inserted between recognition sites. We obtained the terminator, attB and attP sites by oligo synthesis.

Characterization

We first characterized the terminator strength using the following formula:


Ts=〖GFP〗of the random sequence/〖[GFP]〗with the terminator

Terminator Strength Induced with 0.1mM IPTG
Terminator Strength Induced with 1mM IPTG

And we sifted out 6 desirable unidirectional terminators without potential cryptic promotor in both orientations.

Terminator Strength Induced with 0.1M IPTG
Forward and Reverse Terminator Strength Ratio Induced with 0.1mM and 1mM IPTG
