pCAP03
Use
The pCAP03 plasmid has been successfully used to create capture vectors that can be used for TAR cloning of biosynthetic gene clusters. Capture arms can be cloned within the restriction enzymes sites. The plasmid contains elements that allow transfer between E. coli, actinobacteria and yeast cells.
Features
- Apramycin resistance cassette (acc(3)IV)
- Neomycin and kanamycin resistance
- URA3
- ΦC31 integrative site & integrase
- pUC ori for maintenance in E. coli
- Yeast elements: autonomous replication sequence ARSH4, centromere CEN6, selection marker TRP1
History
The plasmid was developed by Bradley Moore's lab as an upgraded version of pCAP011.
