<!--One task of our iGEM project was the deletion of the ''CWP2'' gene, which is encoding a cell wall mannoprotein. By removing it, we aimed for higher cell wall permeability and thus higher chances of our ligand to pass the cell wall and to bind to the membrane-bound receptor.

One task of our iGEM project was the deletion of the ''CWP2'' gene, which is encoding a cell wall mannoprotein. By removing it, we aimed for higher cell wall permeability and thus higher chances of our ligand to pass the cell wall and to bind to the membrane-bound receptor.
The gene deletion was performed according to the bipartite method.  The results from the first PCR reactions, where we amplified the overlapping fragments, can be seen in Figure 3.

The 5' and 3' end of the kanMX (kanamycin resistance) cassette, flanked to loxP sites and available in vectors, are amplified by PCR (PCR reaction 1 and 2). In addition, 500 bp of the up- and downstream sequence of the CWP2 gene are amplified from genomic DNA using primers with 5' extensions that are complement to the loxP sites as indicated with lines in the schematic illustration above. B) The results of the four PCR reactions on gel. The expected sizes of the kanMX and CWP2 fragments are 1000 bp and 500 bp respectively which correspond to the sizes observed on the gel.]]
