MetClo DNA Assembly Kit
(Kit # 1000000153 )

Depositing Lab:   Christopher A. O'Callaghan

The MetClo DNA Assembly Kit is a 48 vector set allowing modular, hierarchical assembly of large DNA fragments using a single type IIS restriction enzyme. The kit includes the 3 E. coli strains necessary for BsaI, BpiI and LguI-based MetClo assembly vector preparation.

This kit will be sent as bacterial glycerol stocks in 96-well plate format.

Original Publication

MetClo: methylase-assisted hierarchical DNA assembly using a single type IIS restriction enzyme Lin D, O'Callaghan CA. Nucleic Acids Research. 2018 Jul 9. pii: 5050631. doi: 10.1093/nar/gky596. PubMed PMID: 29986052.

Description

MetClo allows fast and flexible modular assembly of large DNA fragments from multiple donor plasmids using a single type IIS restriction enzyme. It relies on methylation-switching to selectively block an outside flanking pair of restriction sites but allows cutting at the inner flanking sites to generate compatible adhesive ends. Any fragments that start with adhesive end ‘p’ and end with adhesive end ‘q’ can then be cloned into any of the assembly vectors with one of three types of adaptor sequence (types ‘Start’, ‘Middle’, ‘End’). This allows insert fragments to be preferentially assembled in a one-pot reaction.


MetClo approach for rapid hierarchical assembly of large DNA fragments

Figure Legend: The standard MetClo vector set contains 30 low copy vectors with a p15a replication origin and either an ampicillin (Amp), kanamycin (Kan) or chloramphenicol (Cam) selection marker, and a LacZa negative selection marker flanked by different adaptor sequences sufficient for the assembly of up to 6 fragments in a single reaction. The vector set also contains 18 single copy vectors with an F replication origin, one of the three antibiotic selection markers, and a fragment containing a ColE1 replication origin and a LacZα negative selection marker flanked by different adaptor sequences sufficient for assembly of up to 4 fragments in a single reaction.
