pDEST mCherry vector

This is an updated version of a part developed by the previous MIT team. The original part is a destination vector similar to the ccdB destination vector (pDEST ccdB) but instead of having the ccdB domain that leads to cell apoptosis, there is an mCherry domain that would normally make colonies red. After a successful LR reaction this mCherry domain would be substituted with the gene (s) of interest from the entry vector and when picking colonies, you would select for the white colonies instead of red (red means the destination vector in those colonies remained unaltered hence unsuccessful LR). However, what ends up happening is that there are lots of red colonies with few white colonies in between which makes picking difficult.

Our team added Sce1 restriction sites flanking the mCherry domain on the pDest, but not flanking the R restriction sites. We also added the Sce1 yeast restriction enzymes during the LR process when golden gating the entry with the destination vector.

The final product was a destination vector that uses the color red to denote unsuccessful LR reaction, while white denotes disruption of the mCherry gene and a successful LR reaction is likely. The distinction between white and red, however, is much clearer than when the original part was used.
