| Further information: | This vector was isolated from a mouse thymona EL4/13 cDNA library, by the use of primers. pCAGGS-mCASP-1 contains the complete coding sequence of mouse caspase-1. The gene can be excised as a SfiI-NotI fragment. The SfiI sites of the vector are non-compatible (repeated inverse). pCAGGS-mCASP-1 is useful for highly efficient expression 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 this plasmid corresponds with the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database accession number LT727320.1. The nucleotide sequence of the mouse CASP-1 cDNA corresponds with the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database accession number BC008152 .1. Other name of the plasmid is pCAGGSmICE(#J). |
