Backbone

  • Vector backbone
    pACYC177
  • Backbone size w/o insert (bp) 3941
  • Total vector size (bp) 6059
  • Modifications to backbone
    Addition of two 1000bp sequences with homology to the Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 genome, allowing chromosomal integration. Introduction of the rhaBAD promoter from E. coli (allowing inducible expression with L-rhamnose). Introduction of a synthetic RBS and yfp as a reporter. Introduction of rhaS gene from E. coli, the transcriptional activator required for rhaBAD function in Synechocystis.
