ptdTomato载体描述
ptdTomato encodes tdTomato, a member of the family of fruit fluorescent proteins (1) derived from the Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein, DsRed (2). Because the Tomato protein has a tendency to dimerize, the vector was desighed with two copies of the Tomato coding region liked together to allow intramolecular dimerization. As a result, each tdTomato RNA transcript encodes a tandem dimer of the Tomato protein (excitation and emission maxima equal 554nm and 581nm, respectively). In ptdTomato, the tdTomato coding sequence (2) is flanked by restriction sites (5' MCS and 3' MCS) that make it easy to excise the gene for use in other cloning applications. In E. coli, tdTomato is expressed from the lac promoter (Plac) as a fusion with several amino acids, including the first five amino acids of the LacZ protein. Note, however, that if the tdTomato coding sequence is excised using a restriction site in the 5' MCS, the protein will no longer be expressed as a fusion (as it is when expressed from the lac promoter).A Kozak consensus sequence is located immediately upstream of the tdTomato coding sequence to enhance translational efficiency in eukaryotic cells (3). In the tdTomato vector, the entire tdTomato expression cassette is supported by a pUC19 backbone, which contains a high copy-number origin of replication and an ampicillin resistance gene for propagation and selection in E. coli.
The ptdTomato vector is primarily intended to serve as a source of tdTomato cDNA. The flanking MCS regions make it possible to excise the tdTomato coding sequence and insert it into other vector systems. The vector can also be used to express tdTomato in bacteria.
For Western analysis, either the Living Colors DsRed Polyclonal Antibody (Cat. No. 632496) or DsRed Monoclonal Antibody (Cat. Nos. 632392 and 632393) can be used to detect the tdTomato protein.
