Escherichia coli host strain carrying the I-SceI restriction site on genome and the pAIO plasmid for antibiotic free genome integration on attTN7 site.
BL21(DE3)::I-SceIRS (pAIO) offers a I-SceI homing endonuclease restriction site on genome. The 18 nucleotides long sequence was inserted at the attTN7 site and allows for selection during pAIO-based genome integration.
BL21(DE3)::I-SceIRS (pAIO) additionally carries the pAIO plasmid which is equipped with all elements for “All-In-One” genome integration. The λ-red enzymes Exo, Gam and Bet under control of a heat inducible promotor were selected to ensure the integration of a linear target gene cassette into the E. coli genome. The gene encoding the homing endonuclease I-SceI was inserted into the vector under control of the araB promoter for selection purpose and plasmid curing. To provide accelerated plasmid curing, we engineered an additional I-SceI site into the plasmid backbone, with the idea that the plasmid also gets cleaved upon the expression of I-SceI (doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-73348-x).
