| colspan="3" | '''Inversion of HixC-flanked DNA in the presence of HinLVA'''<br>HinLVA has been assembled with a pLac promoter and RBS (see <partinfo>BBa_S03536</partinfo>) to create a HinLVA expression casette. We observe inversion of HixC-flanked segments of DNA in the presence of this casette. Figure 2 shows the sizes of predicted NheI restriction fragments for different conformations of two HixC-flanked DNA segments. A construct carrying the pBad promoter in the forward orientation (<partinfo>BBa_S03564</partinfo>) yields a 200 bp fragment (Figure 3, lane 2), while the reverse orientation (<partinfo>BBa_S03565</partinfo>) yields a larger 300 bp fragment (Figure 3, lane 3). In the presence of the HinLVA expression casette, the construct carrying pBad in the forward orientation shows restriction fragments for both orientations (Figure 3, lane 4). Similar results are seen for a construct carrying a HixC-flanked RBS-Tet segment (<partinfo>BBa_J3103</partinfo>) (Figure 4). The occurrence of the forward and reverse orientations in roughly equal proportions suggests that inversion has reached a steady state. Inversion occurs without IPTG induction of pLac-Hin. This may be caused by Hin expression via read-through from the vector backbone or leaky transcription from pLac.

Hin Invertase

The Hin invertase enzyme from Salmonella typhimurium has been studied extensively in E. coli. Hin binds each Hix sequence flanking a fragment of DNA to be inverted as a dimer. The two dimers come together to form a tetrad complex where cleaved DNA ends are swapped and ligated (Richards and Johnson 2004). We have reconstituted the Hin invertase system (Hin coding region, Hix sites and a Recombination Enhancer DNA sequence) as a BioBrick compatible system.

Design Notes

This part was cloned via PCR amplification of BBa_J31000 using the following primers. The reverse oligo was designed to add the LVA degradation tag to the end of the Hin invertase coding region. Primer annealing sites are shown in bold.
Forward: 5' TCTGGAATTCGCGGCCGCATCTAGAGATG
Reverse: 5' ATGCCTGCAGGCGGCCGCAACTAGTTAAGCTACTAAAGCGTAGTTTTCGTCGTTTGCAGCATTCATTCGTTTTTTTATAC

The BioBrick prefix and suffix on this part are not wildtype but the restriction sites are still viable.
