Design Notes
This is a shuttle vector compliant with BioBrick standard 10 and 25. As such it has standard cloning sites, and no illegal restriction sites belonging to any of the most commonly used enzymes, with the possible exception of the less used NheI.
It has the pSH71 replicon commonly used in vectors for lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and can in replicate in E. coli and Lactobacillus, as well as many other LAB.[1]
The insert is a standard RFP (BBa_J04450), which allows red-white screening in E. coli.
The replicon and resistance cassette are surrounded by restriction sites selected by Erik Lundin for their usefulness, non-complementarity and not conflicting with BioBrick standards (excepting 12). The replicon is flanked by MluI and NheI, and the resistance cassette uses SacI and SalI
Construction
The basic design is an iGEM backbone where we have changed the replicon and resistance cassette through mutagenesis PCR and sub cloning.
The starting backbone was pSB4C15 made by Erik Lundin at Uppsala University. It is modular, meaning it was made with unique restriction sites around all key parts. We amplified the broad range replicon from pJP059 with the corresponding restriction sites (MluI and NheI), and did the same with the backbone to remove the old replicon, then cut and ligated them.
We changed the resistance cassette to one conferring erythromycin by amplifying the ermb gene, RBS and promotor of the L. reuteri plasmid pLUL631 with SacI and SalI -overhangs on one end each. We then digested the product with the old plasmid pSBLbC and ligated them, followed by selection on erythromycin LB-agar plates.
Source
- The backbone comes from pSB4C15.
- The replicon comes from the plasmid pJP059, originally from pSH71.
- The resistance is conferred by the ermb gene, including RBS and promotor from the L. reuteri plasmid pLUL631
