HPP New Start and Finish

New START Half Edge

1. Use BsaI to free up new START word (GTCC) on 5’ end that allows ligation to new HPP vector.
2. Use BsmBI to free up half-edge word (GTGG) on 3’ end that allows ligation to any Gene1 half-edge.
3. In between these is a J23100 promoter.
4. Flanked by EcoRI and PstI sticky ends for cloning.

New FINISH Half Edge

1. Use BsmBI to free up half-edge word (GTGG) on 5’ end that allows ligation to any Gene2 half-edge.
2. Use BsaI to free up new FINISH word (CGAG) on 3’ end that allows ligation to new tr5f4HPP vector.
3. In between these is a 8 nt spacer.
4. Flanked by EcoRI and PstI sticky ends for cloning.

New HPP Vector

1. Use BsaI to free up a new START word and a new FINISH word that are different from any of the Gene words (listed below).
2. NheI site in the middle for cloning in any XbaI/SpeI BioBrick fragment, such as the ccdB Death Gene or a reporter expression cassette.
3. Flanked by EcoRI and PstI sticky ends.
