| Further information: | The plasmid was constructed by inserting the blunted BspHI-BsmI fragment of pGFP-C1mut, containing the mutated A. victoria GFP coding sequence, into the blunted XhoI site of pCAGGS (this information was obtained from Dr K. Heyninck and differs from the description in Heyninck et al. (1999); it was confirmed by our restriction enzyme analysis). The GFP insert contains a Ser/Thr mutation at codon position 65. pCAGGS-GFP is useful for C-terminal fusion of a gene of interest to the mutated GFP gene and for highly efficient expression of the fusion protein under the control of the AG promoter and the human CMV-IE enhancer in various mammalian cells. 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 LT727037.1. Since the nucleotide sequence of the 5' untranslated region of the GFP gene could not be traced back, there is uncertainty as to the cutting frequency of the restriction enzymes, except for the sites that were analysed in the authenticity test. |
