Backbone

  • Vector backbone
    pCN50
  • Backbone size w/o insert (bp) 5750
  • Modifications to backbone
    Site directed mutagenesis to remove BSAI site in AmpR gene. Replacement of the temperature sensitive S. aureus pT181cop-634 replicon with the wild type pT181 replicon. Vector modified to carry dead Cas9, and an sgRNA cassette. sgRNA has a GFP-expression construct cloned into its BSAI site to facilitate screening for successful cloning of targeting constructs (successful cloning events excise the GFP and colonies do not fluoresce) .
  • Vector type
    CRISPR

Growth in Bacteria

  • Bacterial Resistance(s)
    Ampicillin, 100 μg/mL
  • Growth Temperature
    37°C
  • Growth Strain(s)
    DH5alpha
  • Growth instructions
    Chloramphenicol selection in S. aureus, Ampicillin selection in E. coli. Temperature sensitive replicon must be maintained at 32 degrees in S. aureus. Stable at 37 degrees in E. coli.
