Design Notes

A GS-linker had to be cloned between mazF and mTurquoise to ensure correct folding and functionality of both proteins. A FLAG-tag was fused to mazF to make it detectable in western blot.


Cloning of piG_02a

The tet promoter and rrnB terminator were given to us from iGEM Freiburg 2022. We used one of their plasmids as a template for a PCR but did site directed mutagenesis on the tet promoter to fit the iGEM parts standards. MazF (toxin) together with the riboswitch were synthesized by IDT, the sequence for that was taken from the National Library of Medicine out of E. coli K12 MG1655 (gene ID:947252). The gene for the fluorescent protein mTurquoise was taken from a plasmid by iGEM Freiburg 2022 (BBa_K4229064). For the PCR we used the general protocol for the Q5 polymerase with varying parameters (elongation time and annealing temperature):

Fig. 1: table showing parameters varying from PCR protocol for piG_02a
fragment Annealing temp. Elongation time Fragment size (in bp)
Tet promoter 61°C 1 min 630
mazF 61°C 20 s 330
mTurquoise 60°C 1 min 720
rrnB terminator 61°C 30 s 450


The resulting PCR was loaded onto an agarose gel with a DNA ladder, the correct bands were cut out and extracted. The parts were assembled using the Golden Gate cloning method according to the general protocol. A transformation was done and the resulting colonies after an approximate 12-14h incubation time were screened via colony PCR. With the potential colony containing the insert we did an overnight culture (5mL LB-medium, 34 mg/mL chloramphenicol) and isolated the DNA after incubation. The resulting plasmid was sent for sequencing for correct insertion and no mutation.
