Efficient T-Vector Cloning with Blue/White Selection

The pTargeT™ Sequencing Primer is used to sequence inserts cloned into the pTargeT™ Mammalian Expression Vector (Cat.# A1410) and only for this vector. The primer sequence is not a binding site for any RNA polymerases and cannot be used to generate in vitro transcripts. The primer is supplied at a concentration of 10ng/μl (1.25pmol/μl) in sterile water.

The sequence of the pTargeT™ Sequencing Primer is 5´-d(TTACGCCAAGTTATTTAGGTGACA)-3´.

pGEM®-T Vector Map and Sequence

 

The pGEM®-T Vector is derived from the pGEM®-5Zf(+) Vector (GenBank® Accession No. X65308). The pGEM®-T Vector was created by linearizing the pGEM®-5Zf(+) Vector with EcoRV at base 51 and adding a T to both 3´-ends. The position of the T is indicated by * in the pGEM®-T Vector Sequence (.txt).

In the pGEM®-T Vector, T7 and SP6 RNA polymerase promoters flank a multiple cloning region within the α-peptide coding region for β-galactosidase. Insertional inactivation of the α-peptide allows recombinant clones to be directly identified by Blue/White Screening on indicator plates. The vector allows preparation of single-stranded DNA due to its f1 Origin of Replication.

The multiple cloning site is flanked by recognition sites for the restriction enzyme BstZI, allowing release of the insert by a single-enzyme digestion. Alternatively, a double digestion may be used to release the insert from the vector.

The pGEM®-T Vector System II contains JM109 Competent Cells in addition to all of the pGEM®-T Vector System I components.
