BioBrick Toolbox

BioBrick assembly A-parts are used for N-Terminal and C-parts for C-terminal fusion. B-part is the linker that connects the two entities.

To construct the aimed fusion proteins, we first blunt-end cloned our BioBricks into the storage vector pSEVA231 <partinfo>BBa_K422002</partinfo> (Victor de Lorenzo's lab, KanR, pBBR1 ori). This allowed easy sequencing ans storage.

All parts are compatible with BBF RFC28 (http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/46721). The cloning strategy BBF RFC28 is a method for combinatorial multi-part assembly based on the Type IIs restriction enzyme AarI. The big advantage of this strategy is that we can simultaneously clone up to 3 different inserts into one single expression vector. Part A can be fused to the Linker Part B which is connected to Part C, the C-terminal part of the fusion protein.

Fusion protein assembly

To influence fusion protein ratio in a bacterial cell, two expression vectors (called working vectors) with different origins of replications were generated. Both the repressor protein AraC and the corresponding promoter ParaBAD were inserted into these vectors followed by an insert flanked by AarI-recognition sites. Digest with AarI releases this insert and generates a vector with assembly-compatible overhangs. We also gave a lot of thoughts how to make BBF RFC28 (method for combinatorial multi-part assembly based on the Type II restriction enzyme AarI) compatible with Tom Knight's OAS standard. Check out our general scheme for the easy construction of Tom Knight's OAS and BBF RFC28 compatible working vectors [1]!
