Further information: | The plasmid contains a C285A mutation, resulting in a catalytically inactive form of human CASP-1. This plasmid is useful for highly efficient expression of this catalytically inactive human CASP-1 gene under the control of the AG promoter 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 this plasmid corresponds with the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database accession number LT726859.1. The parental plasmid pCAGGS was completely sequenced by BCCM/GeneCorner. Name mentioned in Kersse et al. (2011) is pCAGGS-FLAG-procaspase-1 C285A. Other name of the plasmid is pCAGGS-Flag-hcaspase-1 C/A. |
