| Further information: | The plasmid was constructed as follows : the PvuII-BamHI fragment of pMc59BLAHI was substituted by the PvuII-BamHI (nucleotide position 3857) fragment of pMc519, resulting in the insertion of the tac promoter before the BLA-HI fusion gene This pMc59BLAHI-derivative contains the tac promoter upstream to the BlaHi fusion gene. This plasmid provides resistance to chloramphenicol. It also provides resistance to ampicillin even without induction of the tac promoter. This resistance to ampicillin could partly be due to leakage of the tac promoter, but according to the features of the parental clone pMc59BLAHI, we may also conclude that the constitutive promoter of kanamycin phosphoribosyltransferase is still present in a functional way right in front of the fusion gene. The translation of the fusion gene stops 8 amino acids behind the end of the hinge region of hIG3 pMc59TACBLAHI contains the replication origin of the single-stranded DNA phage F1, so that it can be rapidly switched between the plasmid and the phage mode (ssDNA) of replication. When cloning a fragment downstream from the tac promoter it may be advisable to use lacI(q) strains in order to prevent fortuitous expression of a possibly noxious polypeptide. Other name of the plasmid is pMc59TACBLAHI1. |
