pTagGFP2-C is a mammalian expression vector encoding green fluorescent protein TagGFP2 (see reporter description). The vector allows generation of fusions to the TagGFP2 C-terminus and expression of TagGFP2 fusions or TagGFP2 alone in eukaryotic (mammalian) cells.
TagGFP2 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 TagGFP2 coding sequence [Kozak, 1987]. Multiple cloning site (MCS) is located between TagGFP2 coding sequence and SV40 polyadenylation signal (SV40 polyA).
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
Generation of TagGFP2 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 TagGFP2 C-terminus when inserted in the same reading frame as TagGFP2 and no in-frame stop codons are present. TagGFP2-tagged fusions retain fluorescent properties of the native protein allowing fusion localization in vivo. Unmodified vector will express TagGFP2 when transfected into eukaryotic (mammalian) cells.
Note: The plasmid DNA was isolated from dam+-methylated
Expression in mammalian cells
pTagGFP2-C vector can be transfected into mammalian cells by any known transfection method. CMV promoter provides strong, constitutive expression of TagGFP2 or its fusions in eukaryotic cells. If required, stable transformants can be selected using G418 [Gorman, 1985].
