  • Modifications to backbone
    To insert loxP bounded antibiotic resistance gene: The 1.3-kb HincII fragment bearing the kanamycin resistance cassette from pUC4K (Vieira, 1982) was inserted into pLox1 (Palmeros, 2000), which had been cut with XbaI and blunted, to create pCM161. To introduce convenient multiple cloning sites, the loxP-bounded kanamycin cassette of pCM161 was amplified with following primer pair, CM-ufkMCS, 5′-TGACGTCTAGATCTGAATTCAGCTGTACAATTGGTACCATGGATGCATATGGCGGCCGCA-3′, and CM-dfkMCS, 5′-GACTAGTGAGCTCACCGGTTAACACGCGTACGTAGGGCCCGCGGTATCGATAAGCTGGATCC-3′. The resulting 1.4-kb PCR product was purified and cloned into pCR2.1 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) to create pCM183. To preserve useful cloning sites, pAYC61 was cut with EcoRI and SmaI, blunted using T4 DNA polymerase, and selfligated to produce pCM182. Finally, the 1.4-kb AatII-SpeI fragment from pCM183 containing the loxP-flanked kanamycin cassette was ligated between the AatII and XbaI sites of pCM182 to create pCM184.
