Design Notes

To make the plasmid usable for Lambda Red recombineering, all sequences with homologies to the E coli chromosome had to be removed. To accomplish this, the E coli His operon terminator BBa_B0053 has been replaced with the late terminator of the Salmonella phage P22. To be able to remove the antibiotic resistance marker after chromosomal integration, the resistance marker from the pKD3 plasmid (Datsenko and Wanner, 2000) was used. The resistance marker can be removed after chromosomal integration using the FLP recombinase, leaving only the plasmid insert and a scar behind.


Source

The P22 late terminator come from the genome of the Salmonella phage P22 (GenBank: AF217253.1, 19662..19702), and the chloramphenicol resistance marker flanked by FRT sites comes from the pKD3 plasmid (Datsenko and Wanner, 2000).
