| Further information: | The plasmid was constructed as follows: the p20 fragment (from codon 123 up to and including 295) of the mouse cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 1 (caspase-1, mCASP-1, ICE) C285S mutant cDNA was picked up from pCAGGS-EmCASP-1m3 by the use of primers and inserted in frame to the N-terminal E-tag between the NotI and XmaI sites of pCAGGS-EmCASP-1m3. The mouse caspase-1p20-C285S coding sequence contains point mutations that convert the Cys in the active site of the conserved QACRG sequence to Ser (QASRG) and create an additional NheI site. The Cys conversion is described as C285S, according to the numbering of the codons in the human caspase-1 coding sequence, although the mutated mouse serine is located on position 284. pCAGGS-EmCASP-1p20m2 is useful for highly efficient expression of the mutated p20 subunit of mouse caspase-1 under the control of the chicken β-actin/rabbit β-globin hybrid promoter (AG) and the human CMV-IE enhancer in various mammalian cells. The AG promoter sequence consists of the chicken β-actin promoter, the first exon and part of the first intron (that seems to have a strong enhancer-like activity) linked to a rabbit β-globin fragment, consisting of a 3' part of the second intron (inclusive a branch point which is required for normal splicing reactions) and a 5' part of the third exon. 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 wt mCASP-1 cDNA corresponds with the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database accession number BC008152.1. Other name of the plasmid is pCAGGSEp20casp-1mut. |
