PERK 6: PERK.9E10.pBABE
(Plasmid #21819)

• Depositing Lab: David Ron
• Publication: PERK constructs (unpublished)

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pBABE-puro
• Backbone manufacturer: Plasmid available at Addgene (#1764)
• Backbone size w/o insert (bp): 5150
• Vector type: Mammalian Expression, Retroviral
• Selectable markers: Puromycin

Growth in Bacteria

• Bacterial Resistance(s): Ampicillin, 100 μg/mL
• Growth Temperature: 30°C
• Growth Strain(s): Stbl2
• Growth instructions: We have found that the PERK cDNA confers instability (low replication ability) to plasmids. The plasmid will be provided in the STBL2 bacterial strain (gibco) which helps alleviate this problem. To recover the plasmid, stick a sterile toothpick into the stab and streak on an LB amp plate and grow at 30C. Pick an individual colony and grow in LB amp at 30C for the highest yield of plasmid.
• Copy number: Unknown
