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' for a target BGC can be cloned within the restriction enzymes sites, and 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
- ΦC31 integrative site & integrase
- Origin of replication for Escherichia coli (pUC ori)
- ARSH4 autonomous replication sequence and CEN6 centromere for replication in yeast
- TRP1 marker for selection of yeast on tryptophan deficient media
- URA3 gene under the strong promoter pADH1 to select against non-homologous end joining in the presence of 5-fluoroorotic acid (5-FOA).
History
The plasmid was developed by Bradley Moore's lab as an upgraded version of pCAP011.
