Further information: | The plasmid was constructed by inserting the mouse caspase-2 cDNA as a BamHI/MluI fragment of pGAD-mCASP-2 (blunted with Pfu DNA polymerase) into the unique MscI (BalI) site of pCAGGS. The orientation of the inserted fragment is sense relative to the AG promoter. pCAGGS-mCASP-2 is useful for highly efficient expression of mouse caspase-2 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 LT727321.1. The nucleotide sequence of the mCASP-2 cDNA corresponds with the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database accession number BC034262.1, except for some 3' UTR nucleotides which correspond to the genomic sequence. These differences are described in the EMBL record. Other names of the plasmid are pcaggs F72#8 (sense) and pcagf72S. |
