Depositor Comments

This plasmid is an empty vector. Your gene can be inserted with a SLIC cloning protocol.

Prescission is a highly specific protease that cleaves LEVLFQ/GP. It is generally more active than TEV protease, and many users have found that when their protein inhibits TEV cleavage, switching to a prescission vector has proved worthwhile.

To clone into this vector, add SLIC tags to the 5' end of your PCR primers.

Forward - 5'GTGCTGTTCCAGGGTCCGAAT3'

Reverse - 5'TGGTGGTGGTGGTGCTCGA(TTA)3'

Linearize the plasmid with SspI and XhoI, then gel purify. There is a 1650 bp stuffer sequence that will be visible on a gel.

When digesting the DNA with T4 polymerase, use no nucleotides for either your insert or the linearized vector.
