Primers

For M13K07 manipulations

• First need to delete Pst site from M13K07 polylinker

these oligos should both destroy Pst and add unique EcoRI to position 8083

• NO133: ChangePst2RI_top
  
  • 5'ATAG AAT TCT ATG CA
• NO134: ChangePst2RI_btm
  
  • 5'ACG TTAT CTT AAG AT
    
• Next step is to add PstI to Petrenko site

use site directed mutagenesis to change GCT to GCA (silent change at Ala, first residue in mature protein)

• NO135: AddPst2gVIII_fwd
  
  • CGT TCCGATGCTG TCTTTCGCTG CaGAGGGTGA CGATCCCGCA AAAGCGGCC
  • Tm 74°
• NO136: AddPst2gVIII_rev
  • GGC CGC TTT TGC GGG ATC GTC ACC CTC TGC AGC GAA AGA CAG CAT CGG AAC G
  • Tm 74°

For M13K07 sequencing

• NO137: M13KO7_seq1100_fwd
  • TAAGTAACATG GAGCAGGTCG CGGATTTCGA CAC
  • Tm 65°

Epitope Tagging

[general info about epitope tagging with PCR]

g8p

[UniprotKB entry]
Insert tag at Pst in g8p M13K07 after SDM with NO135/136

• HA
  • 9-amino acid sequence (YPYDVPDYA) recognized by the anti-12CA5 (=anti-HA)
  • reverse translate at [|Gene Design]
  • default settings gives sequence: TACCCATATGATGTTCCGGACTACGCT
  • add silent restriction sites?
  • alternatively add Val to N-term end of tag so prot seq reads: ala val tyr pro tyr asp...

where val tyr encoded by GTA TAC = unique BstZ171 site

• • alternatively add Ser to C-term end of tag so prot seq reads:...asp tyr ala ser cys...where ala ser encoded by GCT AGC = unique NheI site
  • add Pst tails for ligation, this adds cys to C-term of tail
    • g8p_HA_top: GTA TAC CCA TAT GAT GTT CCG GAC TAC GCT TGC A

• c-myc
  • 10-amino acid sequence (EQKLISEEDL) recognized by anti-9E10 (=anti-myc)
  • reverse translate at [|Gene Design]
  • default settings gives sequence: GAACAGAAACTGATCTCTGAAGAAGACCTG
  • add silent restriction site?
  • add Pst tails for ligation

g3p

[UniProtKB entry]
Insert tag at natural unique BamHI in g3p M13K07.
For consistency used version after SDM with NO135/136 but if these silent changes attenuate phage, may want to try in wtM13KO7
Note from CN at NEB 11.1.06:
The Bam site in wt M13 (and M13KO7) overlaps residues 196-198 of pIII, which fall in the domain (D2) which is involved in F-pilus binding (i.e. the first step in phage infection). Deng and Perham (J Mol Biol 319, 603-614, 2002) characterized a series of mutants to delineate the precise F-pilus binding site of D2, and found that the interaction occurs at a loop comprising residues 178-199, which happens to contain the BamHI site. The good news is that this is a solvent-exposed loop; the bad news is that insertions here might disrupt F-pilus binding, resulting in non-infectious phage. (FYI, in the mp versions of M13, and our PhD cloning vector M13KE, the 2 C's in the Bam site are replaced by T's, resulting in Pro198 being Leu, which has no effect on phage infectivity.) So the short answer is that while there are good reasons to expect that insertions at the Bam site would not be tolerated, you might want to try it anyway.
