Part:BBa_K551001>: pINDEL
The pINDEL plasmid is composed of 2 functional units:
- the IN function which is composed of the gam, exo and bet genes coding for the lambda Red recombinase system
- the DEL function which is based on the flp gene encoding the FLP site-specific recombinase and expressed at 42°C
Another feature of pINDEL is that its replication origin is not functional at 42°C due to the thermosensitivity of the RepA101Ts protein. This protein initiates replication at the ori site in permissive conditions (30°C) and is inactive at 42°C.
The deletion function and the thermosensitivity of the plasmid both could be shown to be working as intended (see functional parameters). The insertion function couldn't be properly tested
