Title SfiNX: a method for assembly of protein coding sequences with high success rates.
Journal Biotechnol Lett
Abstract OBJECTIVE:Concatenation of two NdeI-XhoI gene fragments via an oligonucleotide linker on a plasmid vector with an SfiI site was performed to evaluate success rates in construction of polycistronic genes expressible in Escherichia coli.
RESULTS:A series of plasmids with an SfiI site between the selection marker and the replication origin were constructed. The three wheat eEF1B subunit genes inserted between the NdeI and XhoI sites of pET-22b were transferred to the SfiI-containing plasmid with a spectinomycin-resistance gene. Then, the marker gene in the resultant plasmids was substituted with the ampicillin-resistance gene. These plasmids were used for concatenation of two different genes via a linker oligonucleotide containing a ribosome-binding site. During these operations, 42 clones were picked up out of which 41 had the intended product plasmid.
CONCLUSION:This method, named as the SfiNX method, is useful for trial-and-error based testing of different combinations of fusion and co-expression partners for optimization of recombinant protein production.
