Abstract

Gateway system is one of the most known cloning systems, which makes it compatible with several expression vectors, including those used for Yeast Two-Hybrid (Y2H) and Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) assays. However, this system is laborious and expensive due to its two-step cloning. In this research, we developed a new cloning strategy named Brick into the Gateway (BiG). This approach uses GoldenBraid/Gate assemblies to create a DNA fragment of interest flanked by attL sites, which can be directly recombined into Gateway destination vectors. BiG method showed a high recombination efficiency and ensured the correct reading frame, which was successfully tested in Y2H and BiFC assays. BiG has proven to be a rapid, low-cost, reusable, and directional cloning method which allows the merged use of systems. (AU)
