| |
- | In E. coli the curli-producing system is organized in two divergeant operons with the genes
| |
- | csgA, csgB and csgC on one side and csgD, csgE, csgF and csgG of the other one. So to
| |
- | achieve the first approach of the project, it is necessary to begin by the creation of three "sub-
| |
- | parts": the first one would be the part with the sole promoter PrcnA, the second would be the
| |
- | part with the genes csgA and csgB and final one would be the part with the genes csgE, csgF
| |
- | and csgG.

| |
- | The synthesis of this first DNA part (the cobalt-inducible promoter Prcn-csgBAEFG, which is
| |
- | designed to induce formation of a biofilm and to promote cell adhesion) was conceived as as a
| |
- | competition between two methods: a completely synthetic approach, and a "manual" method
| |
- | involving PCR steps followed by ligations. <br/>

| |
- | <li style="line-height : 1.5em"> The first approach consist in ordering the whole part at a private company (Genecust).</li>
| |
- | <br/>
| |
- | <li style="line-height : 1.5em"> The second approach was to made it directly at the bench, this approach included three
| |
- | steps: first the amplification by PCR of each of the sub parts, second a mutagenesis
| |
- | step to remove all the natural internal EcoRI sites located in the sub parts, and finally
| |
- | the ligation of these parts.</li>
| |
- | <br/>
| |
- | </ul>
| |
- |
| |
- | <p style="line-height:1.5em">
| |
- | Both approches were initiated at the same time, and if the second one allowed us to obtain
| |
- | PCR amplifications of the correct size (see figure) and a complete Prcn-csgBAEFG
| |
- | construction, unfortunately sequencing analysis revealed unexpected mutations that were not
| |
- | removed before reception of the whole part made by Genecust. In brief the "click and order"
| |
- | strategy wins the race !
