Part:BBa_K625005
pSB6A5
This is the version 5 BioBrick vector backbone of the medium copy (minimal pBR322 origin) pSB6A1 plasmid. This means, that the cassettes for the ORI and antibiotic resistance have been minimized (reduction of the size and transcriptional terminators flanking the prefix and the suffix have been added, to trancriptionally insulate the inserted parts from the vector backbone machinery and vice versa. This minimization yielded a reduction in size from 4022 bp to 2743 bp.
For comparison of the copy number of the plasmids, triplicates of OD normalized bacterial cultures containing the respective plasmids were miniprepped. The DNA concentration was then determined by an agarose DNA gel electrophoresis of EcoRI digests of the purified plasmids (Figure 1). This experiment showed a clear reduction in copy number of the minimized version of the original plasmid (Figure 2). Possible reasons for this could be deletion of some unknown regulatory sequences during minimization of the ORI or transcription from within the insert into the origin region in psB6A1 impacting the replication machinery.
