Part:BBa_K1985015

pSB1A3-[AraC-pBAD]-[CsgA-SS-Sup35NM]

This part is an improved version of biobrick (BBa_K1739002), which was designed by the Kent 2015 iGEM team. The promoter BBa_J23104 has been removed and instead an inducible arabinose promoter, part BBa_K1321333, has been used. The second part of this composite biobrick contains 2 segments: the CsgA signal sequence and Sup35NM.

Usage and Biology

The part was used in pSB1A3.

For more information on biology and usage of Sup35NM with the CsgA signal sequence, see part BBa_K1739002. For information on the promoter see BBa_K1321333.

Validation

The part was first validated with a diagnostic restriction digest using Spe1 and BamH1 and agarose gel electrophoresis. The expected band sizes from the digest were: 3327kB for the plasmid backbone and 958kB for the insert. A 1kB plus DNA marker was used to verify the sizes of the bands and it was confirmed that the correct plasmid had been produced.
