Design Notes

The original design for BBa_I50042 was BBa_I50040. Synthesis of BBa_I50040 (designed pSC101 origin) was straightforward but testing revealed that BBa_I50040 was nonfunctional as a replication origin presumably due to introduced mutations.

In constructing BBa_I50042, the replication origin boundaries were chosen quite liberally (i.e. they might include more sequence than is strictly necessary) in part because BBa_I50040 was shown to be non-functional.

BBa_I50042 is very similar to the replication origin used in Bujard's pZS4Int-1 vector and in Michael Elowitz's repressilator. However, a mutation was introduced to eliminate a SpeI site for compatibility with the BioBrick assembly standard. BBa_I50042 is also the origin of replication in pSB4* series plasmids.

  • RS 17:55, 21 June 2010 (UTC): The sequence of this part was updated based on resequencing of pSB4C5-I52002. Four point differences were found between the reference sequence in the Registry and the sequence data. These four point differences were consistent across multiple samples as well as a totally separate vector carrying a pSC101 origin (pSIM5, a recombineering vector not in the Registry). Hence, I believe that these four differences reflect sequence errors in the canonical pSC101 vector sequence in Genbank. Features were added to this part to indicate the point differences.

We constructed BBa_I50042 by PCR using pSB4A3-P1010 as a template and amplification primers I50042-f (5'-GTTTCTTCGAATTCGCGGCCGCTTCTAGAGCTGTCAGACCAAGTTTACGAG-3') and I50042-r (5'-GTTTCTTCCTGCAGCGGCCGCTACTAGTAGTTACATTGTCGATCTGTTC-3').
