The mRNAs and 4.5S RNA were transcribed in vitro from linear DNA templates and purified by ion exchange chromatography27 (link). The DNA templates were PCR-amplified using the pUC19 plasmid (ThermoFisher Scientific) (for proOmpA, TolB, DsbA and 4.5S RNA) or the pET24a plasmid (Novagen) (for HemK, LepB and LepB variants) carrying the respective gene, using Phusion polymerase (NEB) together with a forward primer binding to the T7 promoter and a reverse primer placed according to the desired length of the mRNA6 (link)28 (link). The RNaseH construct was amplified from pET24a plasmid using analogous procedures.
