RNA II acts as a plasmid replication initiatior. The transcript folds into a secondary structure which stabilises the interaction between the nascent RNA and the plasmids DNA. This RNA-DNA hybrid is attacked by RNase H, which cleaves the RNA strand, exposing a 3' hydroxyl group. This allows the extension of the leading strand by DNA polymerase I and consequently, the start of plasmid replication.

[[Image:Cole1 horizontal cropped.png|center|500px|thumb|<b>Figure 1. </b> Main principles of ColE1 plasmid family replication. (Citation needed)]]
 
<b>ColE1-type plasmid replication begins with synthesis of plasmid encoded RNA II</b> (also called primer transcript) by RNA polymerase which initiates transcription at a site 555bp upstream of origin of replication. The RNA transcript forms a RNA - DNA hybrid with template DNA near the origin of replication. Hybridized RNA is then cleaved at the replication origin by RNAse H and serves as a primer for DNA synthesis by DNA polymerase I (Figure 1. A).
 
 
<b>Initiation of replication can be inhibited by plasmid encoded small RNA, called RNA I </b>. Synthesis of RNA I starts 445 bp upstream of the replication origin and proceeds in the direction opposite to that of RNA II synthesis, and terminates near the RNA II transcription initiation site. <b>RNA I binds to RNA II</b> and thereby prevents formation of a secondary structure of RNA II that is necessary for hybridization of RNA II to the template DNA (Figure 1. B).
 
 
For RNA I to inhibit primer formation, it must bind before the nascent RNA II transcript extends to the replication origin. Consequently, the concentration of RNA I and the rate of binding of RNA I to RNA II is critical for regulation of primer formation and thus for plasmid replication.
 
 
Interaction between RNA I and RNA II can be amplified by Rop protein, see [[part:BBa_K2259010]].

Base vector 2.0 - a backbone for SynORI multi-plasmid framework

This is the updated version of iGEM base vector Part:BBa_I51020 that has been withdrawn from the database due to encoding a ccdB toxin. Compared to BBa_I51020 the ccdB toxin was switched out to blue and white selection for picking colonies with the replaced origin of replication. Part:BBa_I51020 page can still be used as a reliable source for this part's design and function.

About SynORI

Synori.png

SynORI is a framework for multi-plasmid systems created by Vilnius-Lithuania 2017 which enables quick and easy workflow with multiple plasmids, while also allowing to freely pick and modulate copy number for every unique plasmid group!

Base vector 2.0 in SynORI framework

Collect.png


Engineering an improved, functional base vector 2.0 is crucial for the SynORI framework.

Building a modular a synthetic origin of replication is easiest when working in biobrick region. But for synthetic ORI this is only possible if there is no other origin of replication in the rest of the vector. Base vector 2.0 provides this, as it has its pUC replicon in biobrick site.

One can then replace the pUC origin of replication to SynORI system parts. Once the modular SynORI system is built, it can be transferred to another plasmid location and biobricks are then free to use for any task.


See [http://2017.igem.org/Team:Vilnius-Lithuania Vilnius-Lithuania 2017 team wiki] for more insight about our synthetic origin of replication (SynORI).
