MoClo Plant Parts Kit
(Kit # 1000000047 )

Depositing Labs:   Nicola Patron

This modular cloning (MoClo) collection comprises 92 standardized parts to enable Golden Gate construction of multi-gene constructs for plant transformation. 36 parts encode promoters and 5' untranslated regions; 11 parts encode antigenic tags; 8 parts encode sub-cellular localisation signals; 19 parts encode reporter genes; 6 parts encode selectable marker genes; 9 parts encode terminators and 3' untranslated regions. A suppressor of silencing and two linkers are also included.

This kit consists of one plate, and will be shipped to most countries as bacterial glycerol stocks, 96-well format, on dry ice. Samples should be frozen at -80 °C immediately upon arrival. Individual plasmids can be ordered from each plasmid page and will be shipped as bacterial stabs.

Description

This collection comprises 92 standardized parts to enable Golden Gate construction of multi-gene constructs for plant transformation. 36 parts encode promoters and 5' untranslated regions; 11 parts encode antigenic tags; 8 parts encode sub-cellular localisation signals; 19 parts encode reporter genes; 6 parts encode selectable marker genes; 9 parts encode terminators and 3' untranslated regions. A suppressor of silencing and two linkers are also included.

Three-panel schematic of a hierarchical modular cloning system. Panel A shows level 0 libraries arranged in five columns: promoters (P1–P9), 5′UTRs (U1–U9), signal peptides (SP1–SP9), coding sequences (CDS1–CDS9) and terminators (T1–T9). Dashed lines trace the selection of one module from each column (P2, U2, SP2, CDS2, T2) into a single level 1 transcription unit, drawn as five adjoining blocks in that order. Below, seven such transcription units (P1–T1 through P7–T7) are joined end to end as a level 2 multigene construct, labeled Position 1 through Position 7. Panel B shows each module class flanked by BsaI recognition sites and four-nucleotide fusion sites: promoter GGAG–TACT, 5′UTR TACT–AATG, signal peptide AATG–AGGT, CDS AGGT–GCTT, terminator GCTT–CGCT, so that adjacent classes share matching overhangs. Panel C compares two assembled transcription units: a secreted-protein unit built from five modules (P, U, SP, CDS, T) using all six fusion sites, and a cytosolic-protein unit built from four modules (P, U, CDS, T) in which the CDS spans directly from AATG to GCTT, omitting the signal peptide.

Figure 1. General overview of the hierarchical and modular cloning system. (A) Libraries of basic (level 0) modules contain cloned and sequenced genetic elements such as promoters (P), 5' untranslated regions (U), signal peptides (SP), coding sequences (CDS) and terminators (T). Transcription units are assembled from selected level 0 modules using a one-pot one-step cloning reaction. Multigene constructs are then assembled in a second cloning step (and optionally further steps) from the transcription units. (B) Level 0 modules of different classes are flanked by compatible fusion sites. Each fusion site consists of 4 nucleotides of choice (boxed) flanked by a type IIS enzyme recognition site on the left or right side (vertical box drawn under the fusion site). (C) Examples of assembled transcription units for secreted or cytosolic proteins. The transcription unit for the cytosolic protein was assembled from 4 modules rather than 5, using a CDS module cloned between fusion sites AATG and GCTT.

Resistance Color Key

Each circle corresponds to a specific antibiotic resistance in the kit plate map wells.

Inventory

Searchable and sortable table of all plasmids in kit. The Well column lists the plasmid well location in its plate. The Plasmid column links to a plasmid's individual web page.

Kit Plate Map

96-well plate map for plasmid layout. Hovering over a well reveals the plasmid name, while clicking on a well opens the plasmid page.
