Description

The CyanoGate kit contains 96 parts and acceptor vectors for generating multi-part assemblies in either integrative (suicide) or self-replicating plasmid vectors for working in cyanobacteria. The kit is compatible with the plant Modular Cloning (MoClo) syntax (also known as PhytoBricks). You require the backbone acceptor vectors in the MoClo Toolkit (Kit # 1000000044) with this kit to progress from level 0 to level T assemblies. This CyanoGate kit includes promoters, minimal (up to the transcriptional start site (TSS)) promoters, terminators, flanking sequences for HR-mediated genomic integration, selectable marker cassettes, level T (for Transformation) acceptor vectors, and parts for building CRISPRi- and sgRNA-based systems.

Seventeen accessory plasmids that can also be used with this kit are available as individual plasmids. Links to these plasmid pages can be found from the Accessory Plasmids Tab.

Figure 1. Adaptation of the Plant Golden Gate MoClo level 0 syntax for generating level 1 assemblies for transfer to Level T. The format for a level 0 MoClo acceptor vector with the part bordered by two BsaI sites. Typical level 0 parts from the Plant MoClo kit, where parts of the same type are bordered by the same pair of fusion sites (for each fusion site, only the sequence of the top strand is shown). Note that the parts are not drawn to scale. The syntax of the Plant MoClo kit was adapted to generate level 0 parts for engineering marked and unmarked cyanobacterial mutant strains. To generate knock in mutants, short linker parts (30 bp) were constructed to allow assembly of individual flanking sequences, or marker cassettes (AbRor sacB) in level 1 vectors for subsequent assembly in level T. Parts required for generating synthetic srRNA or CRISPRi level 1 constructs. See Supplemental Info 4 and 5 from paper for workflows. Abbreviations: 3U+Ter, 3’UTR and terminator; AbR, antibiotic resistance cassette; AbR DOWN LINKER, short sequence (~30 bp) to provide CGCT overhang; AbR UP LINKER, short sequence (~30 bp) to provide GAGG overhang; CDS2(stop), coding sequence with a stop codon; DOWN FLANK, flanking sequence downstream of target site; DOWN FLANK LINKER, short sequence (~30 bp) to provide GGAG overhang; Prom+5U, promoter and 5’ UTR; Prom TSS, promoter transcription start site; sacB, levansucrase expression cassette; sacB UP LINKER, short sequence (~30 bp) to provide GAGG overhang; sgRNA, single guide RNA; SP, signal peptide; srRNA, small regulatory RNA; UP FLANK, flanking sequence upstream of target site; UP FLANK LINKER, short sequence (~30 bp) to provide CGCT overhang; UNMARK LINKER, short sequence to bridge UP FLANK and DOWN FLANK.
Figure 2. Extension of the Plant Golden Gate MoClo Assembly Standard for cyanobacterial transformation. Assembly relies on one of two Type IIS restriction endonuclease enzymes (BsaI or BpiI). Domesticated level 0 parts are assembled into level 1 vectors. Up to seven level 1 modules can be assembled directly into a level T cyanobacterial transformation vector, which consist of two sub-types (either a replicative or an integrative vector). Alternatively, larger vectors with more modules can be built by assembling level 1 modules into level M, and then cycling assembly between level M and level P, and finally transferred from Level P to level T. Antibiotic selection markers are shown for each level. Level T vectors are supplied with internal antibiotic selection markers (shown), but additional selection markers could be included from level 1 modules as required. See Supplemental Info 3 from paper for full list and maps of level T acceptor vectors.
