Multi-dummy of MTU-DY cloned to pSB4K02
This is a composite part which consists in four instances of MTU-DY, each cloned previously to a different pSB3C1#, cloned to pSB1K02.
Usage and Biology
In order to check whether TU-DY (BBa_K3425021) and MTU-DY (BBa_K3425022) would work as dummy parts, all four pSB1K0#-DY mimicking four TUs were cloned together into pSB3C11. Similarly, all four dummies mimicking MTUs pSB3C1#-DY were cloned into pSB1K02. Sequencing (Figures 11 and 12) revealed that only one out of six clones contains the expected sequence (the last clone of Figure 11). The remaining five clones contain deletions or insertions of various sizes, all of them in the area of the “multi-dummy” sequence.
This is probably due to the short and repetitive sequence generated by the dummies, which might have caused polymerase slippage. This phenomenon can occur when there are reiterated sequences, even if they are imperfect [1]. Since the fusion sites at the ends, next to the BsaI and SapI recognition sequences, are present in all the clones it is likely that the cloning was successful and the polymerase slippage happened afterwards, during the growth of the transformed cells.
Dummy parts are only supposed to be fillers that allow the cloning reaction to ligate properly when you have less than four parts to assemble. In this sense, this dummy sequence works as intended. However, it is not ideal to have unpredictable mutations occurring systematically.
A simple solution would be not cloning the dummy sequences next to each other. There might be a situation where this is not possible, so in that case it might be good to use longer dummy parts that are all different from each other. These parts were designed in silico and correspond to part BBa_K3425023 to BBa_K3425030.
Sequencing results of this part can be found in the Sequence Analysis section and the trace files are in the collection page as well as our Parts page.
