For Journal Club on November 5, Nate Krefman presented the following papers on Golden Gate Cloning:
A one pot, one step, precision cloning method with high throughput capability. Engler C, Kandzia R, Marillonnet S. PLoS One. 2008;3(11):e3647. PMID: 18985154.
Golden gate shuffling: a one-pot DNA shuffling method based on type IIs restriction enzymes. Engler C, Gruetzner R, Kandzia R, Marillonnet S. PLoS One. 2009;4(5):e5553. PMID: 19436741.
A modular cloning system for standardized assembly of multigene constructs. Weber E, Engler C, Gruetzner R, Werner S, Marillonnet S. PLoS One. 2011 Feb 18;6(2):e16765. PMID: 21364738.
Maps of entry clone pE-GFP, expression cloning vector pX-lacZ and expression construct pX-GFP. Black arrows show the position of the restriction sites for the enzymes BseRI and HindIII, and the numbers next to these indicate the sizes of the restriction fragments obtained. The grey triangle represents a Streptomyces phage C31 attB recombination site (this site is not used for the cloning procedure described here). Z, LacZ alpha fragment; N, Viral 3′ Non-translated region; T, Nos terminator; RB/LB, T-DNA right/left borders; S1–S2, selectable markers 1 and 2 (resistance to carbenicillin and kanamycin, respectively).
