pTagRFP-keratin is a mammalian expression vector encoding TagRFP-keratin fusion protein (see reporter description). The vector can be used for fluorescent labeling of cytokeratin-18 in living cells.

TagRFP codon usage is optimized for high expression in mammalian cells (humanized) [Haas et al., 1996]. Human cytokeratin-18 is fused to the TagRFP N-terminus.
pTagRFP-keratin vector can be used as a source of TagRFP-keratin hybrid sequence. The vector backbone contains unique restriction sites that permit its excision and further insertion into expression vector of choice.
Note: The plasmid DNA was isolated from dam+-methylated
The vector backbone contains immediate early promoter of cytomegalovirus (PCMV IE) for protein expression, SV40 origin for replication in mammalian cells expressing SV40 T-antigen, pUC origin of replication for propagation in
SV40 early promoter (PSV40) provides neomycin resistance gene (Neor) expression to select stably transfected eukaryotic cells using G418. Bacterial promoter (P) provides kanamycin resistance gene expression (Kanr) in
Expression in mammalian cells
pTagRFP-keratin vector can be transfected into mammalian cells by any known transfection method. CMV promoter provides strong, constitutive expression of the TagRFP-keratin fusion in eukaryotic cells. If required, stable transformants can be selected using G418 [Gorman, 1985].
