M13KO7 Helper Phage
This part is the M13KO7 Helper Phage from New England Biolabs (Cat#N0315S).
Usage and Biology
M13KO7 is a modified M13 phage that includes the origin of replication from p15A and a kanamycin resistance gene, both inserted into the M13 origin [Vieira & Messing, 1987]. The presence of these two elements allows it to replicate as a plasmid in E. coli cells.
M13KO7 is a helper phage suitable for producing single-stranded DNA from a phagemid carrying a wild-type M13 or f1 origin is present.
In the absence of a phagemid DNA, M13KO7 can replicate, pack and secrete single-stranded phage DNA
M13 Helper Phage derivatives were designed and used in the Phage-Assisted Continuous Evolution (PACE) [Esvelt et al., 2011] and variants PANCE [Roth et al., 2019], PRANCE [DeBenedictis et al., 2022], ...
Sequencing of this part revealed differences compared to the sequence available on New England Biolabs website; Some of this differences are present in the M13 helper phage VCSM13 (GenBank AY598820). A complete list is presented in Table 1
Table 1. Sequence differences between this part, the wild-type M13 phage and the published sequences of M13KO7 and VCSM13 two commercially available M13 helper phages. Nucleotide numbers are based on this part sequence. | ||||||
