Design Notes

The Dam methylase was obtained through PCR using BL21 as the genomic DNA template and the Pfu Ultra II enzyme. Primers were designed to include overhangs coding for XbaI and SpeI recognition sites in order to allow the gene to be BioBricked according to the BioBrick Standard. The primers are as follows:

  • Forward PCR primer containing XbaI overhang (bold) for BioBricking:


GCTCTAGATGAAGAAAAATCGCGCTTTTTTG

  • Reverse PCR primer containing SpeI overhang (bold) for BioBricking:

This is one of three site-specific DNA methylases found in most laboratory strains of E. coli.
