Vector description

pTurboFP650-N is a mammalian expression vector encoding near-infrared fluorescent protein TurboFP650 (see reporter description). The vector allows generation of fusions to the TurboFP650 N-terminus and expression of TurboFP650 fusions or TurboFP650 alone in eukaryotic (mammalian) cells.

TurboFP650 codon usage is optimized for high expression in mammalian cells (humanized) [Haas et al., 1996]. To increase mRNA translation efficiency, Kozak consensus translation initiation site is generated upstream of the TurboFP650 coding sequence [Kozak, 1987]. Multiple cloning site (MCS) is located between PCMV IE and TurboFP650 coding sequence.

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 E. coli, and f1 origin for single-stranded DNA production. SV40 polyadenylation signals (SV40 poly A) direct proper processing of the 3'-end of the reporter mRNA.

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 E. coli. Kanr/Neor gene is linked with herpes simplex virus (HSV) thymidine kinase (TK) polyadenylation signals.


Generation of TurboFP650 fusion proteins

A localization signal or a gene of interest can be cloned into MCS of the vector. It will be expressed as a fusion to the TurboFP650 N-terminus when inserted in the same reading frame as TurboFP650 and no in-frame stop codons are present. The inserted sequence should contain an initiating ATG codon. TurboFP650-tagged fusions retain fluorescent properties of the native protein allowing fusion localization in vivo. Unmodified vector will express TurboFP650 when transfected into eukaryotic (mammalian) cells.

Note: The plasmid DNA was isolated from dam+-methylated E. coli. Therefore some restriction sites are blocked by methylation. If you wish to digest the vector using such sites you will need to transform the vector into a dam- host and make fresh DNA.


Expression in mammalian cells

pTurboFP650-N vector can be transfected into mammalian cells by any known transfection method. CMV promoter provides strong, constitutive expression of TurboFP650 or its fusions in eukaryotic cells. If required, stable transformants can be selected using G418 [Gorman, 1985].


Propagation in E. coli

Suitable host strains for propagation in E. coli include DH5alpha, HB101, XL1-Blue, and other general purpose strains. Plasmid incompatibility group is pMB1/ColE1. The vector confers resistance to kanamycin (30 μg/ml) to E. coli hosts. Copy number in E. coli is about 500.
