pColA-KanR-dTer This part is linear DNA containing ColA1 origin of replication+ Kanamycin resistance+ standard prefix and suffix

Usage and Biology

To express different proteins from different vectors the

compatibility issue have to be solved. Because bacteria do not accept vectors with same origins. One example of these compatible origins is ColA-ColE1 origins of replication. Standart expression vectors like pSB1C3/pET-45b(+)/pET-15b(+)/pET-22 all confer origin of ColE1 type.

In our project, systems composed of two or more elements were not cloned into one vetor only because of many repeats and high chance of mutation of Taq polymerase. Instead we divided them into two different compatible vectors. (ColA-pET-45b(+)) To achieve this linear version of vector was cirularized with Not1 enzyme (Figure 1) Then gene of interest was cloned into circularized vector with appropriate enzyme in our case Not1. Then postive colonies on Kanamycin plates were selected and incubated in liquid culture to continue with functional assays. Sequence and Features
