Plasmid vector for SIGEX screening
The vector-trap plasmid was designed to ensure the maximum possibility of acquiring a gene that may contain the promoter-transcription factor combination that we want. We were inspired by Uchiyama and Watanabe’s plasmid vector design, with multiple changes(1). By using a blunt end restriction site (NruI), we ensured that a higher variety of DNA would be ligated. We compensated for the lower ligation efficiency through fast-link DNA ligase and blunt-end fixing for the prepped metagenomic DNA. As per the paper, a GFP gene was added for possible FACs screening, but due to blunt ends ligate with different orientations, a reverse RFP was added as well. The reporter genes allowed FACs to happen for high-throughput screening of the fluorescing cells if a promoter were to be ligated into the vector.
