Cloned DNA: Human serotonin 5-HT2 receptor (h5HT2R)
Promoter: Human interleukin 6 promoter (IL6)
Escherichia coli lac operon promoter
Ribosome
binding site:
Ribosome binding site (RBS) of the Escherichia coli lac Z gene (lacZ)
Terminator: Simian virus 40 polyadenylation signal (SV40 polyA)
Selection marker: Ampicillin (amp)
Replicon: Escherichia coli plasmid pMB1 origin
Host range: Escherichia coli
Mammalian cells
Parental clone: pBLHIL6CAT; pUCh5HT2R
Further information: The plasmid was constructed by ligation of three fragments: the human 5HT2 receptor gene was isolated as a StuI/BamHI fragment from pUCH5HT2R. pBLHIL6CAT was XhoI opened, filled in with Klenow DNA polymerase and afterwards digested with BbsI. From this digestion the human interleukin 6 promoter (hIL6) and bacterial sequences were isolated. The third fragment contained the SV40 intron and SV40 polyadenylation sequences isolated from pBLHIL6CAT as a XhoII-BbsI fragment.
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 the genomic hIL6 DNA corresponds with the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database accession number AC073072.11. However, the C nucleotide at promoter position -174 (polymorphism mutant) was changed into a G nucleotide (wild type).
Name mentioned in Vanhoenacker et al. (1999) is pIL6-5HT2A.
Other name of the plasmid is pHIL65HT2.
