pCMX IkB alpha M
(Plasmid #12329)

• Depositing Lab: Inder Verma
• Publication: Van Antwerp et al Science. 1996 Nov 1. 274(5288):787-9.

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pCMX
• Backbone size w/o insert (bp): 4500
• Vector type: Mammalian Expression

Growth in Bacteria

• Bacterial Resistance(s): Ampicillin, 100 μg/mL
• Growth Temperature: 37°C
• Growth Strain(s): DH5alpha
• Copy number: High Copy

Gene/Insert

• Gene/Insert name: IkB alpha M
• Alt name: IkBaM
• Alt name: I kappa B alpha mutant
• Species: M. musculus (mouse)
• Mutation: Dominant-negative mutant. Many signal transduction pathways resulting in NF-B activation culminate in a serine phosphorylation of IkB on residues 32 and 36. Phosphorylation of the COOH-terminal PEST sequence has been implicated in constitutive turnover of IkB. We combined the NH2- and COOH-terminal phosphorylation mutants into a single cDNA for this plasmid.
• Entrez Gene: Nfkbia (a.k.a. Nfkbi)

Cloning Information

Depositor Comments

IkB alpha M was generated by digestion of plasmids pCMX-IkBS32/36A and pCMX-IkBMutF with Eco NI and Bst EII and ligation of the small S32/36A fragment to the large vector/IkBMutF fragment.
