Backbone

  • Vector backbone
    pKJ1267
  • Backbone size (bp) 3428
  • Vector type
    Bacterial Expression

Growth in Bacteria

  • Bacterial Resistance(s)
    Chloramphenicol, 25 μg/mL
  • Growth Temperature
    37°C
  • Growth Strain(s)
    XL1 Blue
  • Growth instructions
    Grow in LB supplemented with 30 µg/ml chloramphenicol. Due to toxicity associated with high expression from the dual lpp/lacUV5 promoter, this plasmid must be propagated in a lacIq strain (e.g.--XL-1 Blue).

Depositor Comments

Bacterial expression vector for the alpha-Gal4 hybrid protein (required for the B2H system). The tandem lpp/lacUV5 promoter which drives expression of the Gal11P fusion protein contains a lac operator and therefore these dual promoters can be repressed by lac repressor.

This plasmid is a very low copy number plasmid and therefore we recommend that maxipreps be performed from a 200 ml culture. A miniprep will not be sufficient.
