pAcGFP1-C In-Fusion Ready vector is a linearized mammalian expression vector that encodes a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from Aequorea coerulescens. This fluorescent protein coding sequence in this construct has been human codon-optimized for efficient expression and enhanced brightness. AcGFP1 protein has an excitation maximum at 475 nm and an emission maximum at 505 nm. Sequences flanking AcGFP1 have been converted to a Kozak consensus translation initiation site (1) to further increase the translation efficiency in eukaryotic cells. The linearized vector allows direct cloning of PCR products without any need for restriction digestion when using Clontech's
In-Fusion HD Cloning Plus. This is accomplished by the use of a specific 15 nucleotide long sequence within the sense and antisense primers that overlap with the cut ends created by initial digestion of the vector with Sal I and Hind III
The primers that will be used to amplify In-Fusion Ready PCR products require the following 15 nucleotides on their 5’ends:
Sense primer: 5’ AAGGCCTCTGTCGAC followed by sequence of amplification target 3’
Antisense primer: 5’ AGAATTCGCAAGCTT followed by sequence of amplification target 3’
If the gene of interest is added in-frame immediately after the 15 nucleotides mentioned above, this sequence will automatically be in-frame with the AcGFP1 sequence upstream and therefore be expressed as a fusion protein to the C-terminus of AcGFP1.
SV40 polyadenylation signals downstream of the AcGFP1 gene direct proper processing of the 3’ end of the mRNA transcript. In addition, the vector also contains a SV40 origin of replication in mammalian cells expressing the SV40 T-antigen. A neomycin resistance cassette (Neor), containing an SV40 early promoter, the neomycin/kanamycin resistance gene of Tn5, andpolyadenylation signals from the Herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV TK) gene, allow selection of stable transformants in eukaryotic cells using G418. A bacterial promoter upstream of the gene expresses kanamycin resistance in E. coli. The pAcGFP1-C In-Fusion Ready Vector also provides a pUC origin of replication for propagation in E. coli and an f1 origin for single-stranded DNA production.
Fusions to the C-terminus of AcGFP1 retain the fluorescent properties of the native protein and allow monitoring of the fusion protein localization in vivo. The target gene can be fused into pAcGFP1-C In-Fusion Ready Vector so that it is in-frame with the AcGFP1 coding sequence with no intervening in-frame stop codons. The recombinant AcGFP1 vector can be transfected into mammalian cells using any standard transfection method. Stable transformants can be selected using G418 (2).
