| Further information: | The plasmid was constructed as follows: 1) pMa58 was BamHI opened and the BglII fragment from pCAhIFNGSTm, containing part of the mature human α2,6-sialyltransferase gene (hST6GalI), was inserted, resulting in the intermediate construct pMa58STfr2; 2) The termination codon at the 3' end of the hST6GalI coding sequence was deleted and a unique FspI site was introduced via site-specific mutagenesis using the synthetic oligonucleotide 5'-GGAGCCTGTGCTGCGCAGTGAATGG-3', leading to pMa58STfr2deltastop; 3) To ligate an E-tag at the 3' end of the hST6GalI gene, the pCANTAB5E-PLAP vector was NotI (treated with S1 nuclease)/AflIII opened and part of the coding sequence of the hST6GalI gene was inserted as a NcoI/FspI fragment; 4) The EcoRI/AccI (filled in with Klenow DNA polymerase) fragment from the resulting pCANTAB-STE vector, containing part of the coding sequence of hST6GalI ligated to the E-tag and the phage fd gene 3 (g3), was inserted into the SmaI opened pMa58. The orientation of the inserted fragment in this pMa58ST intermediate vector is sense relative to the ampicillin resistance gene; 5) At the 3' end of the hST6GalI gene, a unique MfeI site was introduced by site-specific mutagenesis using the synthetic oligonucleotide 5'-CCATTCACTGCTGCCAATTGGGTGCGCCGGTGCCG-3', resulting in pMa58STb; 6) Finally, the mature hST6GalI gene was restored by inserting the KpnI/BstBI (AsuII, Csp45I) fragment from pMa58STb into the KpnI/BstBI (AsuII, Csp45I) opened pCAhIFNGSTm vector, leading to pCAhIFNGSTmE. pCAhIFNGSTmE is useful for highly efficient expression of human α2,6-sialyltransferase, C-terminally fused to an E-tag, 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 hST6GalI corresponds with the Genbank accession number X62822.1. Other name of the plasmid is pCAIFNSTE. |
