Design Notes

Starting from the construct of Chasteen et al. we deleted the region containing the ORI and the chloramphenicol resistance in order to delete the two PstI cut sites. Following this, a PCR mugaenes was performed on pSB3K3 to insert a new MCS downstream of the suffix. Using the cut sites of Alw21I and MluI was possible to clone the M13 genome in the standard backbone

Source

Staring from the helper phage designed by Chasteen et al (2006), it was modified by combining it with the standard backbone pSB3K3. The original plasmid has been obtained from the genome of M13 bacteriophage and it carries all the genes coding for the proteins necessary to assemble the viral capsid.
