pSALECTNK-LGK/csTEM1
(Plasmid #81164)

• Purpose: pSALECT plasmid with levoglucosan kinase fused to TEM-1
• Depositing Lab: Timothy Whitehead
• Publication: Klesmith et al Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2017 Feb 14. pii: 201614437. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1614437114.

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pSALECT
• Backbone size w/o insert (bp): 3224
• Total vector size (bp): 4538
• Modifications to backbone: Addition of a codon-swapped fusion beta-lactamase with a c-terminal Hix6x tag followed by a BbvCI nicking site.
• Vector type: Bacterial Expression

Growth in Bacteria

• Bacterial Resistance(s): Chloramphenicol, 25 μg/mL
• Growth Temperature: 30°C
• Growth Strain(s): DH5alpha
• Growth instructions: For plasmid production a general cloning strain with this plasmid can grown at 30 or 37oC. For selection on ampicillin the temperature is limited to 30oC in a strain that has lacI knocked-out (the strain MC4100 is best suited for this).
