Study on Construction of Homologous Recombination Plasmid of sigB in Staphylococcus Aureus / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To construct the homologous recombination plasmid of sigB gene from staphylococcus aureus so as to provide the basis for further study of the formation mechanism of its biofilm.METHODS:The target fragment“upstream sequence of sigB,kana-resistance gene,and downstream sequence of sigB”were amplified by PCR from staphylococcus aureus DNA and pEGFP-N2plasmid,respectively,in which the terminals of3interlinked fragments were complementary,and re-stricted enzyme EcoRⅠand XhoⅠsite existed in the sequence terminal,respectively.The fragments were ligated with fusion PCR in turn.Then target fragment was recombinated into plasmid pBluescriptⅡSK(+)according to the instruction manual of commercial kits.After both recombination of pBluescriptⅡSK(+)and vector plasmid pGEM-7zf(+),restricted enzyme SacⅠand XhoⅠ,the homologous recombination plasmid pGEM-7zf(+)-sigB was finally made via T 4 ligation enzyme.RE-SULTSThe target fragments were amplified by PCR and were confirmed with the agarose gel electrophoresis and sequencing.CONCLUSION:The homologous recombination plasmid of sigB gene from staphylococcus aureus is constructed successfully.
