Construction details

bactin2 genomic sequence was derived from a 5.3 kb clone (gift of Ken Poss), which was derived in turn from a 10 kb upstream construct from Shin-ichi Higashijima.

p5E-bactin2 was made by PCR of the bactin2 upstream genomic sequence (using primers to add att sites), followed by a BP reaction. Upstream sequence includes 3.8 kb upstream of transcriptional start, a small 5' UTR exon, a 1.4 kb intron, and then 38 bp of 5' UTR, terminating immediately before the native start codon. Sequencing confirms that the ends of the insert are correct.
