Oligonucleotide-directed PCR mutagenesis to introduce two TetR operators (tetO) into PfurA102. (A) pMY718 was used as a template in two PCR reactions with primer couples RP557/RP556 and RP555/RP558; (B) the two PCR products (continuous lines) were used as template in a PCR reaction with the primer couple RP557/RP558; (C) the PCR product was cloned into pCR-Blunt II-TOPO and subcloned into pMY718.

The backbone of the plasmid was ligated with the HindIII fragment containing PfurA102tetO. Correct orientation was determined by sequencing the junction between the two fragments.

Bent arrows represent promoters. Pptr: Pip-dependent promoter; Psmyc: constitutive promoter controlling tetR transcription; PfurA102tetO: TetR-dependent promoter controlling expression of pip. The two plasmids differ for the orientation of the Psmyc-tetRcassette.
Hyg pFRA51/53 Pptr ftsZ or fadD32 Hyg Pptr ftsZ,fadD32 Figure S4. Strategy used to replace ftsZ or fadD32 promoters with Pptr by insertional mutagenesis. The 5’-portion of each gene was cloned downstream of Pptr in the suicide vector pFRA50. After integration of the resulting plasmids in the mycobacterial genome, an intact copy of the gene is placed under Pptr transcriptional control, whereas the residual 5’-portion is still downstream of the physiological promoter.
