| Further information: | The plasmid was constructed by replacing the PstI-SalI fragment of pLacDN6FHIFNG by the PstI-SalI fragment of pTM3HIFNG. This is the only plasmid of the type pLacDN with an amber mutation in ampicillin hIFNγ is a mutant, containing a unique SalI site and an extra HhaI site at position 390 of the coding region. The natural EcoRI site near the end of lacZ was removed by mutation. Expression from either one or both promoters results in the production of two polypeptides: a small 31 amino acids peptide (of which 23 amino acids are encoded by the signal sequence of the ampicillin resistance gene) and the hIFNγ/β-galactosidase fusion protein. There is a constitutive weak expression of the fusion protein from the ampicillin promoter, enough for rapid colour development on X-Gal indicator plates at 28°C. High expression levels of fusion protein can be obtained by shifting to 42°C. pLacDN7FHIFNG can be used to obtain ssDNA for site-directed mutagenesis on hIFNγ. This plasmid can be used in conjunction with pLacDN6FHIFNG to obtain selection for the opposite strand. The chromosomal lacZ gene must be inactivated for detection of β-galactosidase activity of the hIFNG-lacZ fusion protein. Other names of the plasmid are pDN6faG and pLacDN6faHIFNG. |
