Description
Integration sequences allow DNA to be incorporated into the chromosome of a host cell at a specific locus using leading (5') and trailing (3') DNA sequences that are the same as those at a specific locus of the chromosome. The 5' integration sequence can be added to the front of a Biobrick construct and the 3' integration sequence specific for this locus ( BBa_K143004) to the rear of the Biobrick construct to allow integration of the Biobrick construct into the chromosome of the gram positive bacterium B.subtilis.
Notes
The PyrD integration sequence was taken from the pDR111 vector after comparison by BLAST to the B.subtilis chromosome to identify the homologous sequences. The sequence present in both the host chromosome and the plasmid at the 5' end of the endogenous gene is the 5' sequence required for integration
Source
The 5??? integration sequence was taken from the shuttle vector pDR111 which has been used in many studies on B.subtilis
