Depositor Comments

The original plasmid pSP6-SFV4 is highly unstable, when grown in bacteria. The reason is bacterial transcription/translation of the structural viral proteins, of which the E1 protein appears to intoxicate the bacteria. In pSP6-SFV4s we introduced several silent mutations (around positions 3177, 4000 and 8081) to remove three potential bacterial transcription promotors. These changes were sufficient to stabilize the plasmid, but have not been published. Mathilda Sjöberg and Henrik Garoff
