Introducing new 6S RNA-free B. subtilis strain SG7
Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Mark Foster's lab at the Ohio State University, the BGSC has acquired a new addition to our collection. The BGSC would like to introduce the availability of a new 6S RNA-free B. subtilis strain. This strain, SG7, developed by Roland Hartmann's lab at Institut fur Pharmazeutische Chemie, Philipps-Universitat Marburg, is now available. This strain was developed to express His-tagged RNAP but with deletions of the two 6S RNA genes. This allows for ease in preparing the His-tagged, 6S RNA-free sigmaA-RNAP holoenzyme. This strain is now available under the accession number 1A1644 in the online catalog.
Thank you once again to the Foster lab!
6S-1 and 6S-2 B. subtilis RNA Deletion Strains
The BGSC is pleased to introduce a series of 6S-1 and 6S-2 RNA deletion strains to our collection. The strains have been constructed using the undomesticated B. subtilis strain NCIB 3610.
These strains are suitable for the study of global transcriptomic or proteomic changes upon 6S RNA deletion and for complementation analyses using heterologous or mutant 6S RNA genes. They can be found under the accession numbers 3A45-3A51.
They are now available for purchase from our collection due to the generosity of Roland Hartmann at Philipps-Universitat Marburg.
