Objective

Subclone BSA into pTXB1

  • Use NheI and SapI cloning sites. This will fuse the BSA to a C-terminal intein and chitin binding domain (CBD).
  • Add C-terminal His8-tag after CBD.

Special Materials

BSA clone

  • BSA cDNA in pCMV-SPORT6
  • IMAGE clone ID # 8838824
  • E. coli DH10B TonA
  • glycerol stock frozen at -80°C

PCR primers

  • All primers from IDT
    • 100 nmol scale
    • HPLC purified
  • BSA cloning
    • BSA-NheI-5'
5'- CCC ACA AAA CTA TGG CTA GCA AGT GGG TGA CT-3'

  • Kathryn Muratore 14:09, 11 August 2011 (EDT):This is the wrong sequence. It leaves an overhang of GCA at the 3' end, but the overhang for pTXB1 is TGC. I inverted these three bases when I designed the primer, and this explains why the ligation did not work.
