Description
This plasmid allows the integration of the improved flip-flop (module I) (part: BBa_K51019) into bacterial chromosomes using the pUC18Sfi-miniTn7BB-Gm (BBa_K51012) characteristics. Single copy may improve the function of regulatory circuits, as bistable systems.
For more information about the function of the miniTn7 BioBrick toolkit and flip-flops, visit the iGEM team UPO-Sevilla 2011 wiki.
Notes
The BBa_K510019 BioBrick was inserted within the BCS of pUC18R6KT-miniTn7BB-Gm (BBa K510012) by EcoRI and PstI clonning.
Source
The pUC18R6KT vector was amplified by PCR using as template a pTNS2 plasmid (GenBank accession number: AY884833) provided by Herbert P. Schweizer. The primers were designed to flanked the pUC18R6KT with SfiI restriction sites and allow the insertion of the mini-Tn7-Gm. Primers: attcGGCCTAGGCGGCCgtcgttttacaacgtcgtgac and attcGGCCGCCTAGGCCggaagcataaagtgtaaagcctg.
The miniTn7BB-Gm minitransposon was synthesized commercially, and then digested at the flanking SfiI sites and cloned into SfiI-digested pUC18R6KT PCR products.
The improved flip-flop (module I) was synthesized commercially too.
