[Plasmid vector pSSC1 for cloning synthetic polynucleotides and their regeneration with a unique nucleotide sequence]

For subcloning separate synthetic gene fragments, a plasmid vector pSSC1 was constructed by inserting a synthetic polylinker into plasmid pBR 327 at the EcoRI-PstI sites. There are two FokI and HgaI sites at the ends of this polylinker in the opposite orientation, with the EcoRI and PstI sites between them. DNA fragments cloned at the EcoRI and PstI sites can be regenerated by either FokI or HgaI, the EcoRI and PstI sites being deleted from the cloned sequences. Such fragments have unique cohesive ends that allows their directed ligation into longer DNA (genes).
