Modified from the parent Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) strain
Selective amino acid labeling (and/or requirement) = Asp, Tyr, Phe, Ile, Leu
Please note- RF17 strain has knockouts in aspC, tyrB, and ilvE genes and requires the presence of L-Asp, L-Tyr, L-Phe, L-Ile plus L-Leu for (slow) growth in M63 minimal medium.

Note that these strains are NOT competent cells and one needs to make them competent before use.
Supplemental documents contain a list of PCR primers used for verification of each knocked-out gene as well as an image showing PCR results for this strain.

##RF12 strain requires Trp for growth in M63 minimal medium.

Selective amino acid labeling (and/or requirement) = Asp++++, Tyr, (Phe), His
++++RF4, RF5, and RF13 strains have knockouts in both aspC and tyrB genes and therefore require the presence of L-Asp (but not L-Glu) for growth in M63 minimal medium. These strains can be used for selective labeling of selected aromatic amino acid(s) such as Tyr (RF4, RF5, RF13) and/or Trp (RF13). We have NOT tested if these strains could also be used for selective Asp labeling studies (under investigation).

The expected PCR product size is approximately 600 bp. If the strain carries the two characteristic mutations (one silent mutation and one Arg→Cys substitution), it is the correct strain. Please see the GenBank file in the Supplementary Documents section above for reference.
Note that the strain is only resistant to low levels of Trimethoprim and Streptomycin. Please see the .PDF in the Supplementary Documents section above.
Addgene Note: This strain was prepared directly from the depositor's sample without further sequence verification. We recommend verifying the strain as described above. Please contact [email protected] if any issues arise.
