Lena Abeln 3999 bp The plasmid backbone is suitable for use in a number of different cloning approaches. The ampicillin resistance enables the differentiation between transformed and non-transformed cells, while the araC site facilitates the regulation of gene expression.
BBa_K5077017 Plasmid_Backbone pET-28c(+) A variant of the pET28a(+), which is a standard expression vector with a T7 promotor, two 6x His-tags with thrombin- and enterokinase restriction sites, and a kanamycin resistance. Katharina Veith 5324 bp The plasmid backbone of the pET-28c(+) vector is illustrated here. The pET-28c(+) vector is similar to the pET28a(+) vector which is a frequently used expression vector in E. coli. The plasmid backbone contains a T7 promoter that can be controlled with precision via IPTG. To facilitate the purification of the protein, the vector incorporates a His-tag and thrombin- and enterokinase restriction sites, which can be employed to remove the His-tag following the purification process. The kanamycin resistance enables the differentiation between transformed and non-transformed cells.
BBa_K5077018 Coding EGFP + Linker + Overhangs The EGFP gene was linked with a linker and overhangs to put that into the pUC-HasA vector via homologous recombination. Boy Hansen, Malcolm Summer Rose-Heine 762 bp This part was developed for the purpose of homologous recombination of pUC-HasA (BBa_K5077015, BBa_K5077014) and EGFP (BBa_J428076). The objective was to observe the production of hyaluronic acid synthase within the cells. Consequently, we attempted a process of homologous recombination, which necessitated the inclusion of the EGFP gene with overhangs. The linker was incorporated to facilitate the correct folding of HasA.

Nomination Best Composite Part

We would like to submit a nomination for our plasmid pET28c(+) with 64 resilin repeats (BBa_K5077019)(see Fig. 1). The plasmid can be used to express 64 repeats of resilin exons, resulting in the formation of large resilin threads. These threads can be used to create a hydrogel via crosslinking with hyaluronic acid. The plasmid was originally derived from Katharina Veith, while the insert was generated using the Repeatigo method.

Fig 1: Plasmid map for our composite part BBa_K5077019. pET28c(+) plasmid backbone which we derived from Katharina Veith and 64 repeats of the optimized Resilin exon.

This plasmid represents a pivotal component of our project. The concept of using a hydrogel as a wound dressing for burn wounds is contingent upon the ability to create Resilin threads of sufficient length to crosslink them with chemically modified hyaluronic acid.

The plasmid itself represents a significant accomplishment. To achieve this level of repetition, a variety of techniques were employed, as a straightforward PCR approach was insufficient. The most promising approach was the Repeatigo method. To create this method, six different oligos were designed and allowed to anneal. Following this, a ligase was used to bind all of the oligos together. The oligos were designed to introduce NdeI and SacI restriction sites at the end and at the front of the whole sequence. The insert was then cloned with these two enzymes into the pET28c(+) vector and transformed into our E. coli cells. (read more about Repeatigo here)
