Design Notes

The native indC contains an internal EcoRI and SpeI cutting site which was mutated using a CPEC approach. We amplified indC in three fragments from P. luminescens genomic DNA:

1. start codon to EcoRI cutting site (Primer 1/2; Table 1)
2. EcoRI cutting site to SpeI cutting site (Primer 3/4; Table 1)
3. Spe cutting site to stop codon (Primer 5/6; Table 1).
   

The primers contain point mutation (indicated with small letters in Table 1) to remove the cutting sites. The backbone was amplified with the primers 7/8. Basically every backbone which contains the part J04450 can be used.

The following experimental procedures were performed to [http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/81332| RFC 99]: In a 6 ul PCR Master Mix (NEB Phusion High-Fidelity in High Fidelity buffer), all fragments were put together in an equimolar ratio. CPEC assembly was performed using an optimized protocol (Table 2).

Transformation was performed with 5 ul of the CPEC reaction product. The resulting plasmid is K1152008, from which we subsequently amplified the coding sequence with primers that introduce the RFC[10] prefix and suffix for standard BioBrick assembly of the indC cds on pSB1C3.

Source

The coding sequence was amplified from Photorhabdus luminescens laumondii TT01 DSM15139.
