Abstract
Gateway system is one of the most known cloning systems, which makes it compatible with several expression vectors, including those used for Yeast Two-Hybrid (Y2H) and Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) assays. However, this system is laborious and expensive due to its two-step cloning. In this research, we developed a new cloning strategy named Brick into the Gateway (BiG). This approach uses GoldenBraid/Gate assemblies to create a DNA fragment of interest flanked by attL sites, which can be directly recombined into Gateway destination vectors. BiG method showed a high recombination efficiency and ensured the correct reading frame, which was successfully tested in Y2H and BiFC assays. BiG has proven to be a rapid, low-cost, reusable, and directional cloning method which allows the merged use of systems.
Gateway系统是最著名的克隆系统之一,它使其与多种表达载体兼容,包括用于酵母双杂交(Y2H)和双分子荧光互补(BiFC)测定的表达载体。然而,由于它的两步克隆,该系统既费力又昂贵。在本研究中,我们开发了一种名为Brick into the Gateway (BiG)的克隆策略。该方法使用GoldenBraid/Gate程序集来创建attL位点两侧的感兴趣的DNA片段,该片段可以直接重组为Gateway目的向量。BiG方法具有较高的重组效率,并确保了正确的阅读框,在Y2H和BiFC试验中成功验证。BiG已被证明是一种快速、低成本、可重用和定向克隆的方法,它允许系统的合并使用。
