BBa_K143005 1 epsE 5 IS 5??? Integration Sequence for the epsE locus of B. subtilis 2008-09-11T11:00:00Z 2015-05-08T01:10:23Z The 5??? integration sequence was taken from the B.subtilis chromosome and is homologous to the chromosme from a few hundred bp upstream of the gene's start codon until 300 bp into the gene. It was produced by PCR cloning with Pfu DNA polymerase 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 (Part BBa_K143006) to the rear of the Biobrick construct to allow integration of the Biobrick construct into the chromosome of the gram positive bacterium B.subtilis. The EpsE (aka YveO) locus has to our knowledge never been used for integration into B.subtilis before, but is useful in that it knocks out the potential molecular clutch EpsE gene [1]. In particular, both the 5' and 3' integration sequences for the EpsE locus conatin in-frame stop codons to prevent translation of the gene (if nothing is integrated into the locus, integration also prevents correct EpsE expression). The 5' and 3' integration sequences for the EpsE locus were used to integrate over the EpsE gene and prevent its expression in the Imperial 2008 iGEM project B.sutbilis host. References 1.

The upstream and EpsE gene sequence was analysed for restriction sites and primers (with biobrick prefix and suffix sequences) for two approximately equally sized integration sequences were desgined.
