This is a graphic summary of our project

Construct design:
The goal for our project is to insert Factor C gene into the chromosomal DNA of B. Subtilis, and have it express this Factor C protein. At the same time, to fulfill iGEM competition requirements, we also need to insert Factor C gene into E.coli plasmid pSB1C3 and submit it as a biobrick for iGEM competition.
We decided to insert Factor C gene into E.coli plasmid pSB1C3 first; then, integrate Factor C gene into the chromosomal DNA of B. Subtilis using pAX01 integration factor (a B. Subtilis specific plasmid).

Biobrick:
Factor C in E.coli pSB1C3 We couldn't order Factor C from factory because it is too large (about 3000 base pairs https://benchling.com/itesla-soundbio/f/gPUeHZXf-drafts/seq-Jq87odxl-psb1c3factor-c/edit), so we order it as two fragments, FC1 and FC2. First, insert FC1 into pSB1C3. Then, insert FC2 into the plasmid, too. This pSB1C3 with full Factor C will be submitted for biobrick.
