Restriction digests of the clone give the following sizes (kb): BamHI--4.3; BamHI/EcoRI--4.3; BglI--3.0, 1.3. Upon infection with M13KO7 (ATCC 37468), an M13-sensitive host strain containing a pMA200U derivative produces packaged single-stranded plasmid DNA complementary to the M13 universal primer. If the insert is oriented correctly for transcription from the lambda promoters, the single-stranded plasmid DNA will contain the coding strand. Expression vector encoding cI857. Contains primer sites useful for sequencing and permits production of ssDNA. Constructed by replacing the 1.118 kb BglI fragment of pCE30 with the analogous 1.27 kb fragment of pTZ18U. |
