pAB Universal Plasmid for BioBytes Gene Assembly System
| Types | DnaRegion |
| Roles | Plasmid_Backbone plasmid_vector |
| Sequences | BBa_K187000_sequence (Version 1) |
Description
The boundary sequences required for sticky end production for the BioBytes gene assembly system are acquired by inserting gene sequences destined to become bytes into either of the host plasmids pAB or pBA. Both are derivatives of pUC19 with the following key modifications:1. Replacement of the pUC19 MCS with the MCS shown in figure 1.
2. Elimination of the Z alpha fragment
3. Elimination of the restriction sites Bts1 and BspQ1
Functional features include:
1. The ability to adapt biobricks to the Byte format using the Xba1 and Pst1 sites contained in the MCS.
2. The ability to adapt the in the ASKA collection (Kitagawa 2005) to the Byte format (4000+ E. coli K12 ORFs). ORFs are cloned into an expression vector, accompanied by a 6xHis tag at the N-terminus and a GFP fusion on the C-terminus. ASKA parts can be freed by digestion with SfiI, leaving noncomplementary 3 bp 3' sticky ends, which can be cloned directionally into the MCS after digestion with BstAPI. Since the ASKA parts are freed from the interior of the CDS, the MCS provides a start codon 10 bp downstream of the RBS, and a stop codon (TGA) downstream of the insertion. ORFs cloned from ASKA plasmids replace the N-terminal methionine of the predicted ORF with Met-Ala-Leu-Arg-Ala, and append Cys-Leu at the C-terminus.
3. Other potentially useful restriction sites have been included in the MCS as well as an RBS consensus positioned 8 bp upstream of the ATG used for ORF???s derived from 1. And 2
4. The ability to select for insert-containing constructs through the linearization of parental contaminants by cleavage with the rare- cutters SwaI and PmeI contained in the MCS.
5. Two routes for the production of 12 base overhangs by PCR using universal primers: A) PCR followed by nicking using the engineered enzymes Nb.BbvCI and Nb.BtsI. B) PCR followed by removal of a primer-encoded uracil residue using BioLab???s UserTM system. Primer positions and sequences are indicated for both.
Notes
Using these plasmids as well as universal primer sequences for the PCR extraction of bricks from the plasmids anyone will be able to use this system for their own rapid assembly. The design ensures that the existing catalog of BioBrick parts is compatible with the system, and can be easily cloned into the universal plasmids for brick generation. We believe that this new system is ready for both use and formalization, and we have prepared a BBF RFC detailing the use of BioBytes.Source
