Use

This plasmid can be used for precise CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome engineering of Streptomyces strains. To our knowledge it has been successfully used in S. albidoflavus, S. coelicolor, S. formicae, S. lividans and S. venezuelae. Mutations have ranged from 1-100kbp deletions, precise codon changes to alter amino acids and insertions to add Flag-tags to proteins encoded at their native loci.

Features

  • Ampicillin resistance cassette
  • Origin of conjugative transfer (oriT)
  • Origin of replication for Escherichia coli (pBR322oriF)
  • Codon optomised cas9 gene under the constitutive rpSL promoter
  • LacZ cassette for golden gate cloning of guide RNA (gRNA)
  • gapdh promoter for gRNA expression
  • pSG5 temparature sensitive Streptomyces origin of replication. Without selection and above 37°C the plasmid becomes unstable. This property is used to cure the plasmid from Streptomyces after successful mutagenesis.
