Design Notes

In order to construct the pUC18Sfi-miniTn7BB-Gm delivery plasmid, the miniTn7BB-Gm transposon was cleaved from the commercial plasmid pMA (Mr. Gene) with SfiI and ligated to SfiI-digested pUC18Sfi. This strategy removes all multi-cloning restriction sites from pUC18Sfi, except for the flanking SfiI, thus guaranteeing that the unique sites in the transposon are not duplicated. The remove of the multi-cloning restriction sites was verify by analytic digestions. The direction of miniTn7BB-Gm insertion was determined by digestion.

Source

The miniTn7BB-Gm minitransposon was synthesized commercially, and then digested at the flanking SfiI sites and cloned into SfiI-digested pUC18-Sfi. This results in the elimination of the complete pUC18-SfiI multi-cloning site, except for the duplicated SfiI sites that remain on both sides of the transposon, thus facilitating its transfer to other vectors.
