Design Notes

In order to construct the pUC18Sfi-miniTn7BB-Gm delivery plasmid, the miniTn7BB-Gm transposon was cleaved from the commercial plasmid pMA (Mr. Gene) with SfiI and ligated to SfiI-digested pUC18Sfi. This strategy removes all multi-cloning restriction sites from pUC18Sfi, except for the flanking SfiI, thus guaranteeing that the unique sites in the transposon are not duplicated. The remove of the multi-cloning restriction sites was verified by analytic digestions. The direction of miniTn7BB-Gm insertion was determined by digestion.

Source

The miniTn7BB-Gm minitransposon was synthesized commercially and pUC18SfiI is a commercial vector. The attTn7 was obtained from the purified genome of E. coli MC4100 by PCR (using a high accuracy Pfu polymerase) with the follow primers: gaattcgcggccgcttctagagTGCAGCTGCTGGCTTACCATG and ctgcagcggccgctactagtaACATGGAGTTGGCAGGATGTTTG.
