E. coli Gene Replacement

Lambda red recombinase method

(see this link - openwetware::gene replacement - for the method comparison)

Materials

• Plasmids
  • pKD46
    • Coding lambda red recombinase
    • Ampiciline resistance
    • Temperature sensitive replication origin
  • pKD13
    • Kanamycin resistance gene template plasmid
  • pCP20
    • Flipase system
    • Ampiciline resistance
• Reagents
  • L-arabinose
    • Lambda red recombinase pBAD promoter inducer
• Equipment
  • Incubators (30°C and 37°C)
  • Electroporator

Procedure

• Preparation of plasmids

1. Grow up pKD46, pKD13, and pCP20 in host strains 
2. Perform minipreps to extract plasmids 

• Transformation of pKD46
  • Using the protocol of TSS method

• Generation of cassette flanked by homologous arms
