Request
Dear iGEM judges,
The team LCG-UNAM-MEXICO is participating this year for the first time, and I'm writing on behalf of the team to request permission for submitting our Biobricks in non-standard vectors.
Our project requires very tight regulation of E. coli nickel extrusion pump (RcnA) through several regulatory upstream proteins. Our Analysis suggest that we need to control very accurately the production of several molecules and a crucial part of this requires stable low copy-number vectors. For this reason we would like to use pRK415 and pBBIMCS-5 derivatives as our plasmid backbones. We will be adding Biobrick prefix and suffix to both of them. We will also make sure that our parts are easily extracted from the plasmid either through digestion with commercially available enzymes or through PCR.
All this information will be shared to ensure that our Biobricks are useful for the community.
Thanks for your time and consideration
