pCT5c Type IIS Compatible Plasmid

Description

This plasmid is a mutated version of pCT5-bac 2.0 (Fig 1). The original plasmid was created by Claudia Schmidt-dannert lab and provided by Addgene (plasmid # 119872). pCT5-bac 2.0 has a novel p-isopropyl benzoate (cumate) inducible gene expression system, constructed by combining the strong constitutive Bacillus promoter Pveg with regulatory elements, CymR repressor, and CuO operator sequence. A sfGFP reporter was assembled under the cumate-inducible promoter for gene expression in Bacillus subtilis, B. megaterium, and Escherichia coli. This plasmid is known as a platform for both gram-positive and gram-negative expression host. Two antibiotic resistance was found, with ampicillin for E. coli and tetracycline for Bacillus strains. However, pCT5-bac 2.0 has three BsaI restriction sites at position 650, 2994, and 6475, making it incompatible with Type IIS (RFC 1000) assembly standards. During preliminary research at the beginning of the project, we realize there is limited shuttle vectors for Bacillus subtilis in the registry. Therefore, we have created a Type IIS compatible vector pCT5c (BBa_K4417000) using site directed mutagenesis (SDM) to remove all the forbidden sites (Fig 2).

Figure 2: pCT5c (BBa_K4417000) with no BsaI or SapI site

For each BsaI restriction site, we have designed a set of SDM primers (BBa_K4417001, BBa_K4417002, BBa_K4417003, BBa_K4417004, BBa_K4417005, BBa_K4417006). The part was confirmed by sequencing and used in our further cloning.

Usage and Biology

This mutated plasmid can be used as a shuttle vector for both B.subtilis and E.coli.
