1 Figure S1. Construction of pAL70
Figure S1. Construction of pAL70. The Hyg cassette was amplified from pIJ963 (Lydiate et al. 1989) using Pfu polymerase (Stratagene) and oligonucleotides RP594 and RP595 (Fig. S5) carrying the dif sequence of M. tuberculosis and a BglII restriction site at their 5’ ends. The resulting fragment was cloned into the single BclI site present in the mycobacterial integrative vector pSM316 (unpublished).

2 A B C Figure S2. Construction of pAL74 and pAL75. A) The Hyg cassette was amplified from pIJ963 (Lydiate et al. 1989) using Pfu polymerase (Stratagene) and oligonucleotides RP594 and RP803 (Fig. S5) carrying the dif sequence of M. tuberculosis and a BglII restriction site at their 5’ ends. RP803 was designed to introduce a StuI restriction site immediately before the dif sequence at the 3’ of the cassette. This fragment was cloned into in pCR-BluntII-TOPO (Invitrogen) to obtain pAL71 (A). The mycobacterial promoters Pmpt64 and PRv1818c were amplified from pMV2-33 (Delogu et al. 2004a) and pMV4-36 (Delogu et al. 2004b), respectively using Pfu polymerase using oligonucleotides RP804/805 and RP809/805 (Fig. S5) containing a DraI restriction site on their 5’ ends and designed to include the promoter original rbs into the construct (B); these two fragments were cloned into the single StuI site of pAL71 to obtain pAL74 and pAL75 (C).

3 P dif dif Hyg Integration P Hyg Xer-cise Figure S3. Schematic representation of the effect of integration and excision of the Hyg excisable cassette on transcription and translation of the downstream gene(s). Disruption of the gene of interest (orange) by single-step double crossover does not interrupt transcription of the downstream gene (green) due to the promoter present at the 3’ of the Hyg excisable cassette. After excision of the cassette, transcription from the physiological promoter is resumed. Even if the two genes are translationally coupled the translation of the downstream gene(s) is not interrupted due to the translation of a truncated form of the gene of interest also in the presence of the Hyg cassette. mRNA is shown as broken line.

Figure S4. Constructin of pDario1 and pDario2. Both vectors are derivative of the integrative plasmid pMV306 (Stover et al. 1991). The hygromycin cassettes from pAL74 and pAL75, extracted by HindIII/XbaI digestion and the GFP coding sequence, extracted from pMV10-25 (Delogu et al. 2004b) by NheI/KpnI digestion, were inserted into pMV306 digested HindIII/KpnI.
