Shuttle vector pSBLbE for E. coli and Lactobacillus

The backbone pSBLbE is a shuttle vector that works in E. coli, Lactobacillus, and probably other lactic acid bacteria (LAB) like Lactococcus lactis. It has been grown in E. coli and has been successfully transformed to Lactobacillus reuteri.

Construction and function

The replicon pSH71 is known from literature to replicate in a wide range of gram positive and gram negative species^[1]. Because E. coli is very easy and fast to work with, and ligations are very hard to transform in Lactobacillus constructs should first be constructed and partly characterised in E. coli. Then a plasmid preparation can be done and transformed to Lactobacillus.

The shuttle vector was made by replacing the replicon of the BioBrick compatible plasmid pSB4C15 with a broad range replicon, pSH71, from the engineered plasmid pJP059. The replicon is related to pWV01 and of the same family of rolling circle replicating plasmids.^[1] The resistance cassette was then changed to one conferring erythromycin resistance. The resistance gene was taken from the L. reuteri plasmid pLUL631.^[2] It is easy to change resistance again thanks to flanking restriction sites.

Please see design subpage for more details

Results

The vector has been verified to work in E. coli and to provide resistance against 50 µg/ml erythromycin on LB-agar plates. The copy number has been estimated to be relatively low, judging by initially low expression of RFP in E. coli.

It has also been shown to grow in Lactobacillus reuteri 100-23 on MRS-plates containing 5 µg/ml erythromycin, giving resistance to the transformed cells while negative controls were unable to surive. The RFP gene is not expressed or is not functional. This is no surprise since the regulating promoter is from E. coli and many fluorescent proteins do not work in Lactobacillus. Here the copy number has been hard to assess like it was done in E. coli because of the nonfunctional RFP.
