Design Notes

The plasmid backbone has been deleted of five prohibited restriction sites, the region was substituted with the standard RFC[10] prefix and suffix. Between them has been placed the part BBa_J23119, a promoter that has been demonstrated to be working in A. baumannii and K. pneumoniae

Given the results of our experiments and attempts in cloning a dCas expression cassette in BBa_K4727000, we decided to take a straightforward approach by directly changing the E. coli origin of replication and substituting it with a medium/low copy ORI. Since the plasmid from which we extract the dCas expression cassette carries a p15a ORI and we know it allows for dCas expression in E. coli, we decided that this sequence could be a possible solution. We decided then to exchange the plasmid pMB1 ORI with p15a. To operate this modification we opted for a Gibson assembly, for which we designed appropriate PCR primers pairs to amplify the plasmid backbone and the new ORI, flanked by homology sequences.

The plasmid backbone was acquired from AddGene and subsequently modified
