Assembly of intact, replicating plasmids from linear DNA fragments introduced into bacterial cells, i.e. in vivo cloning, is a facile genetic engineering technology that avoids many of the problems associated with standard in vitro cloning. Here we report characterization of various parameters of in vivo linear DNA assembly mediated by either the RecET recombination system or the bacteriophage {lambda} Red recombination system. As previously observed, RecET is superior to Red for this reaction when the terminal homology is 50 bases. Deletion of the E. coli xonA gene, encoding Exonuclease I, a 3[->]5 single-strand DNA exonuclease, substantially improves the efficiency of in vivo linear DNA assembly for both systems. Deletion of ExoI function allowed robust RecET assembly of six DNA segments to create a functional plasmid. The linear DNAs are joined accurately with very few errors. This discovery provides a significant improvement to previously reported in vivo linear DNA assembly technologies.
