pRE118

87693 ^™

One of four allelic exchange suicide vectors (ATCC^® 87691-87694™) that provide both selection for chromosomal integration (ampillicin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, or tetracycline resistance) and counterselection for the loss of vector DNA and the wild type allele (Gene 207, 1998). Construct is a suicide plasmid in any host not expressing pir. The conditional R6K origin of replication requires the pi protein be expressed in trans for plasmid maintenance (Cell 15, 1978). Cloned inserts may be integrated into the host chromosome (a single recombination event) following electroporation and appropriate antibiotic selection. Negative selection for sucrose sensitivity (sacB) selects for a second recombination event resulting in loss of vector DNA (Infect Immun 59, 1991; Mol Microbiol 5, 1991). DNA was transformed into Escherichia coli CC118 lambda pir⁺ and provided as a frozen culture.

ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

General

Specific applications: Counterselection levansucrase
Suicide vector
Vector permitting allelic exchange of cloned inserts

Characteristics

Comments: The sacB1 allele is a variant of sacB with certain restriction sites removed by site directed mutagenesis. Expression of sacB confers sensitivity to sucrose.

The conditional R6K origin of replication requires that the pi protein be expressed in trans for plasmid maintenance.

One of four allelic exchange suicide vectors (ATCC 87691 - 87694) that provide both selection for chromosomal integration (ampR, cmlR, kanR or tetR) and counterselection for loss of vector DNA and the wild type allele.

Construct is suicide plasmid in any host not expressing pir.

Cloned inserts may be integrated into the host chromosome (a single recombination event) following electroporation and appropriate antibiotic selection.

Negative selection for sucrose sensitivity (sacB) selects for a second recombination event resulting in loss of vector DNA.
Mycoplasma contamination: Not detected
