MP6 mutator (original)
The biobrick is a plasmid with one operon under control of the promoter pBAD together with the transcription factor gene AraC, and six other genes that disrupt DNA replication: DnaQ926, Dam, SeqA, EmrR, Ugi and Cda1.
Usage and Biology
The DnaQ926 is a dominant negative variant of the E. coli DNA pol III proofreading domain. Dam has a strong mutator effect due to impaired mismatch repair. The SeqA protein negatively regulates the initiation of DNA replication at the origin of replication. A low expression of SeqA reduces the transcription of the MP6 plasmid in absence of arabinose. The EmrR gene codes for a protein that compromises intracellular dNTP pools. Ugi codes for a protein that inhibit Ung, a mutagenesis preventing enzyme, through mimicry of structural and electronic features of uracil-containing DNA. CDA1 codes for a cytidine deaminase that is reported to promote the mutation of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomic DNA.
The biobrick is based on the MP6 plasmid from addgene (Addgene plasmid # 69669). The original plasmid was changed in order to make it a biobrick. The change done to the plasmid was removing a Spel restriction site by changing an A to a C (nucleotide number 4971 in the original MP6 plasmid). A biobrick prefix was also added in front of the araC gene and a biobrick suffix after the CDA1 gene.
