Part:BBa_K1413043

Transposase Tn10

This part is the coding sequence for the transposase Tn10. A cut-and-paste mechanism where the transposase allows insertion of a transposon randomly in the genome. The transposon must be surrounded by IS10 sequences.

Usage and Biology

This part was extracted from pNK2 plasmid (see BBa_K1413044). This part was used to insert the transposon in the genome of bacteria like E. coli and Pseudovibrio denitrificans.

Picture of an electrophoresis gel of the PCR which amplifies the kanamycine resistance cassette. The template of this PCR was Pseudovibrion denetrificans genome after electroporation of the transposon plasmid pNK2, control was P. denetrificans without electroporation. As expected, all clones have the insertion of the transposon, except the control.
