Title: How do I construct a plasmid Adding GFP using pUC19? Post by: karmahone on Mar 31, 2017 Homework: construct a plasmid to direct expression of this fusion protein (GFP) in E. coli using pUC19. Write down the whole sequence of your plasmid MTWSRRQFLTGVGVLAAVSGTAGRVVA - green fluorescent protein Title: Re: How do I construct a plasmid Adding GFP using pUC19?

I also added a couple extra TAA stops on the end to ensure translation termination. A short description: Use same restriction enzyme (perhaps EcoR1) to cut pUC19 and vector insert. Fuse insert strand into vector by mixture of ATP and DNA Ligase. Transform E.coli K12 using calcium chloride heat shock. Plate on ampicillin and X-gal medium to obtain successfully transformed colonies utilizing the manufactured plasmid. |
