Genecorner:

-

Cloned DNA: Photinus pyralis (firefly) luciferase gene (LUC)
Promoter: Human interleukin 6 promoter (IL6); 224 bp fragment
Escherichia coli lac operon promoter
Ribosome
binding site:
-
Terminator: Simian virus 40 polyadenylation signal (SV40 polyA)
Selection marker: Ampicillin (amp)
Replicon: Escherichia coli plasmid pMB1 origin
Host range: Escherichia coli; preferably recombination-deficient strains
Mammalian cells
Parental clone: pBLhIL6LUC
Further information: The plasmid was constructed as follows: pBLhIL6LUC was digested with SalI and NheI, filled in with Klenow DNA polymerase, and religated (large part of the hIL6 5' flanking region is lost).
The resulting plasmid allows functional analysis of a minimal (224 bp) hIL6 promoter.
This plasmid contains the SV40 small t-antigen splicing signal. It also contains three SV40 polyadenylation segments. Hence, the possibility might exist that the plasmid could loose information by homologous recombination.
When cloning a fragment downstream from the lac promoter it may be advisable to use lacI(q) strains in order to prevent fortuitous expression of a possibly noxious polypeptide.
The nucleotide sequence of the genomic hIL6 DNA corresponds with the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database accession number AC073072.11. However, the C nucleotide at promoter position -174 (polymorphism mutant) was changed into a G nucleotide (wild type).
Other name of the plasmid is 234LUC.
