pYPKa_Z_TDH3tp

Plan for the construction of E. coli vector pYPKa_Z_TDH3tp

Step 1 PCR of the insert

PCR with primers pfw698 & prv698 and template TDH3_template results in a 711bp PCR product

Primers annealing on template:

Step 2 Vector digestion and cloning

Clone the PCR product in pYPKa digested with ZraI resulting in pYPKa_Z_TDH3tp

Step 3 Diagnostic PCR confirmation

Confirm the structure of the pYPKa_Z_TDH3tp using primers 577, 342 and pfw698 in a multiplex PCR reaction.

Expected PCR products sizes from 577, 342 and pfw698 (bp):

pYPKa with insert in correct orientation: 1645, 1477
pYPKa with insert in reverse orientation: 1645, 879
Empty pYPKa clone : 934
