pCK355
(Plasmid #129699)

• Purpose: For insulated expression in Synechocystis 6803. As pCK306 (rhaBAD rhamnose-inducible promoter, YFP, an E. coli-Synechocystis shuttle vector, chromosomal-integration sites) + ilvBN terminator
• Depositing Lab: John Heap
• Publication: Kelly et al Microorganisms. 2019 Aug 16;7(8). pii: microorganisms7080263. doi: 10.3390/microorganisms7080263.

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.
