Currently, the production of engineered M13 phage particles through a helper plasmid involves constructs composed of a replication origin (ORI) that facilitates replication within E. coli, an antibiotic selection marker that allows for the selection of transformed cells, and the genes encoding the M13 phage capsid proteins. These constructs are typically obtained by removing the encapsidation sequence from the M13 phage genome and replacing it with ORI and the selection marker[1]. Of particular interest to us was the M13cp plasmid, built by Chasteen et al.[1]. However, this plasmid is not compatible with the BioBrick standard as it carries two PstI restriction sites flanking the ORI, furthermore, it lacks the BioBrick prefix and suffix. This region was then replaced with the standard pSB3K3 backbone, which carries the same ORI as the original helper plasmid, particularly p15A, and utilizes kanamycin resistance as the selection marker, compatible with the marker carried by the M13 phagemid <partinfo>BBa_K4727003</partinfo>. This allows the production of phage particles through co-transformation in a packaging cell.

M13 standard Helper Plasmid

The production of engineered M13 phage particles through a helper plasmid involves constructs composed of a replication origin (ORI) that facilitates replication within E. coli, an antibiotic selection marker that allows for the selection of transformed cells, and the genes encoding the M13 phage capsid proteins. These constructs are typically obtained by removing the encapsidation sequence from the M13 phage genome and replacing it with ORI and the selection marker[1]. Of particular interest to us was the M13cp plasmid, built by Chasteen et al.[1]. However, this plasmid is not compatible with the BioBrick standard as it carries two PstI restriction sites flanking the ORI, furthermore, it lacks the BioBrick prefix and suffix. This region was then replaced with the standard pSB3K3 backbone, which carries the same ORI as the original helper plasmid, particularly p15A, and utilizes kanamycin resistance as the selection marker, compatible with the marker carried by the M13 phagemid BBa_K4727003. This allows the production of phage particles through co-transformation in a packaging cell.

This part has been designed to make tropism variation easy thanks to the possibility to insert new genes for tropism determinants such as BBa_K4727006 and BBa_K4727007
