| *This sequence has 5' and 3' SapI sequences which will be cleaved during Electra cloning into vector pD1214-FAKS. This vector was ordered from DNA2.0 and is linearized upon arrival. Our insert is treated with Electra enzyme mix which cuts and ligates our SapI.kCasein.SapI gene and inserts it into the pD1214 vector.
| |
|
| |
| *SapI treated DNA has an ATG overhang at the 5' end and a GGT overhang at the 3' end. Our complete vector will have the alphafactorfull signal sequence, which leads into another Methionine (M), followed by the rest of the human kappa casein protein.

Milestone
Our first milestone will be to express and secrete full-length kappa-casein in S. cerevisiae. We only get one discounted order of gBlocks from IDT so we will save that for later milestones and pay full price for the initial kappa-casein synthesis.
Once the first milestone has been accomplished, we will attempt express
Orders for first milestone
E. coli
- E. coli NEB-10: We have this strain available in our freezer.
S. cerevisiae
- The strain must be a URA3 knockout: We are requesting a donation from NEB
Shuttle vector
The shuttle vector is a vector that can be grown and selected in E. coli and S. cerevisiae, but which only correctly expresses the gene or genes of interest in S. cerevisiae.
We're ordering the pD1214-FAKS shuttle vector from DNA 2.0 which contains the following features:
- AmpR: Ampicillin resistance gene (for selection in E. coli)
- P-Amp: Constitutive promoter for AmpR
- pUCori: High copy number E. coli origin of replication
- 2um: High copy number S. cerevisiae origin of replication from 2-μm plasmid.
- URA3: Yeast selectable marker. Requires the use of an S. cerevisiae strain missing the URA3 gene.
- P_ura: Constitutive S. cerevisiae promoter for URA3
- T_ura: S. cerevisiae terminator for URA3
- P_TEF1_syn: Constitutive S. cerevisiae promoter for our gene of interest (we will swap this out for an inducible promoter later)
- Secretion signal: Full alpha-factor yeast secretion signal. Fused to our gene of interest to secrete the protein.
- CYC1terminator: S. cerevisiae terminator for our gene of interest.
The shuttle vector will arrive linearized with overlaps for DNA 2.0's own Electra cloning system.
