| Further information: | The plasmid was created as follows: 1) a ΔproCASP-1 construct was made via PCR, using pGEM-mCASP-1 as a template. The PCR was carried out using synthetic oligonucleotide primers designed to eliminate the N-terminal region corresponding to the prodomain of caspase-1, to add an EcoRV and KpnI restriction site upstream of an inserted methionine start codon and to append a 10 amino acids strep-tag to the C-terminus, followed by two termination codons as well as BamHI, MunI (MfeI) and EcoRI restriction sites. 2) The PCR amplicon was digested with EcoRV and EcoRI and inserted into the EcoRV/EcoRI opened pLT10TH plasmid downstream from the His-tag and EK site. This plasmid differs from pLT-mCASP-1p30-2 only by the presence of a unique KpnI site upstream of the p30 fragment. The plasmid can be used to make in vitro translated p30 forms of the inserted caspase. The His-tag and EK site linker is composed of a hexameric histidine-encoding fragment (allowing the synthesis of affinity-tagged fusion proteins) followed by the enterokinase recognition site (allowing the precise release of the mature heterologous gene). This His-tag and EK site linker directly follows the ATG start codon. Transcriptional read-through from the promoters is minimized by the presence of a duplicated T7 transcription terminator and a duplicated fd transcription terminator. Read-through transcription from other plasmid promoters is minimized by the clockwise orientation of the PL and T7 promoters relative to the anticlockwise orientation of the replication origin. Furthermore, the plasmid is provided with an antisense phage T3 promoter. It also contains the replication origin of the single-stranded DNA phage f1, so that it can be rapidly switched between the plasmid and the phage mode (ssDNA) of replication. The latter requires infection with a helper phage, e.g. M13KO7. For T7 driven expression use a strain containing a controllable T7 RNA polymerase gene: preferably a pT7POL plasmid (Mertens et al., Biotechnology 13 (1995), 175-179) or e.g. BL21(DE3). Proceed as follows: first transform auxiliary plasmid, make competent cells again and then transform the expression plasmid. The nucleotide sequence of the mouse mCASP-1cDNA corresponds with the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database accession number BC008152.1. Name mentioned in Schotte et al. (1998) is pLTΔproCASP-1a. Name mentioned in Van de Craen et al. (1999) is pLTmCASP-1a. Other names of the plasmid are pltP30ice(KpnI)#K2, pLT-mCASP-1a and plt30k3p. |
