Copy Sequence View Map

Basic Information

Note: pWB980 derived from pUB110 is an expression vector in Bacillus for its high copy number and high stability. It has a size of 4k base pairs, which is considered manageable and does not impose significant metabolic burden on the host cells. One key feature of the pWB980 plasmid is its bacterial resistance attribute, specifically for kanamycin. This feature is extremely useful as it allows for the selection and identification of bacterial cells that have successfully taken up the plasmid. pWB980 harbors the P43 promoter whose transcription direction is consistent with majority of the pUB110-encoded genes. This high-level promoter is popular for driving gene expression in Bacillus subtilis. It is important to note that the pWB980 vector is not a shuttle vector. Users are recommended to treat bacterial cells carrying this plasmid with lysozyme to maximize the plasmid yield during extraction.

pWB980-ori (pUC980-2) is a shuttle plasmid with an additional replication origin compared to pWB980.

Plasmid Protocol

1. Centrifuge at 5,000×g for 5 min.

2. Carefully open the tube and add 20 μl of sterile water to dissolve the DNA.

3. Close the tube and incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature.

4. Briefly vortex the tube and then do a quick spin to concentrate the liquid at the bottom. Speed is less than 5000×g.

5. Store the plasmid at -20 ℃.

6. The concentration of plasmid re-measurement sometimes differs from the nominal value, which may be due to the position of the lyophilized plasmid in the tube, the efficiency of the re-dissolution, the measurement bias, and adsorption on the wall of the tube, therefore, it is recommended to transform and extract the plasmid before using it

General Plasmid Transform Protocol

1. Take one 100μl of the competent cells and thaw it on ice for 10min, add 2μl of plasmid, then ice bath for 30min, then heat-shock it at 42℃ for 60s, do not stir, and then ice bath for 2min.

2. Add 900μl of LB liquid medium without antibiotics, and incubate at 37℃ for 45min (30℃ for 1-1.5 hours) with 180rpm shaking.

3. Centrifuge at 6000rpm for 5min, leave only 100μl of supernatant to resuspend the bacterial precipitate and spread it onto the target plasmid-resistant LB plate.

4. Invert the plate and incubate at 37℃ for 14h, or at 30℃ for 20h.

5. Pick a single colony into LB liquid medium, add the corresponding antibiotics, incubate at 220rpm for 14h, and extract the plasmid according to the experimental needs and the instructions of the plasmid extraction kit.
