Cassette to insert sps gene in the Neutral Site 3 of the S. elongatus UTEX 2973 genome.

This composite part has been designed to insert the sps gene into the Neutral Site 3 of the S. elongatus UTEX 2973 genome.

The promoter in this part is PcpcB-m6 (BBa_K3971000). In order to allow for modularity in the promoter region of the cassette, two restriction sites Nde1 and BamH1 flank it, so that the promoter can be easily excised out and replaced with another. Thus one can study the effect of different promoters on sucrose production efficiency.

Both ends of the composite part contain Kpn1 restriction sites since this cassette is designed to be cloned into the pSL2680 plasmid which has a Kpn1 site and a Sal1 site to allow for cloning of cassettes.

pSL2680 is a which is a Cpf1 based CRISPR plasmid [1]. The sps gene is native to the Synechococcus sp, and the sps catalyzed reaction is the rate limiting step in sucrose biosynthesis in cyanobacteria [1]. It catalyzes the rate-limiting conversion of uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-Glu) and fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) into sucrose 6-phosphate (S6P) in the sucrose synthesis pathway.

We aimed to overexpress the sps gene in order to increase the amount of sucrose produced by S. elongatus when exposed to salt stress.
