Backbone

  • Vector backbone
    pMLM36
  • Backbone size (bp) 3508
  • Vector type
    Bacterial Expression

Growth in Bacteria

  • Bacterial Resistance(s)
    Ampicillin, 100 μg/mL
  • Growth Temperature
    37°C
  • Growth Strain(s)
    XL1 Blue
  • Growth instructions
    Grow in liquid LB supplemented with 50 µg/ml carbenicillin or on LB plates supplemented with 100 µg/ml carbenicillin. Due to toxicity associated with high expression from the lacUV5 promoter, this plasmid must be propagated in a lacIq strain (e.g. XL-1 Blue).

Depositor Comments

Combinatorial libraries of zinc finger arrays made by OPEN are cloned into this plasmid (see Maeder et al., Mol Cel 2008, PMID 18657511). Ligate zinc finger array fragments with BbsI-digested pBR-UV5-GP-FD2 vector backbone to create plasmids that express the zinc finger array as a FLAG-tagged Gal11P fusion in the B2H system.

The lacUV5 promoter which drives expression of the Gal11P fusion protein contains a lac operator and therefore can be repressed by lac repressor.

This plasmid is a low copy number plasmid and therefore we recommend that minipreps be performed from a 4 to 10 ml culture.
