pET-23a-d(+) Vectors

TB051 12/98
The pET-23a-d(+) vectors carry an N-terminal T7Tag sequence plus an optional C-terminal
HisTag sequence. These vectors differ from pET-21a-d(+) by the plain T7 promoter instead
of the T7lac promoter and by the absence of the lacI gene. Unique sites are shown on the circle
map. Note that the sequence is numbered by the pBR322 convention, so the T7 expression region
is reversed on the circular map. The cloning/expression region of the coding strand transcribed
by T7 RNA polymerase is shown below. The f1 origin is oriented so that infection with helper
phage will produce virions containing single-stranded DNA that corresponds to the coding strand.
Therefore, single-stranded sequencing should be performed using the T7 terminator primer (Cat.
No. 69337-3).

The maps for pET-23b(+), pET-23c(+) and

pET-23d(+) are the same as pET-23a(+)
(shown) with the following exceptions:
pET-23b(+) is a 3665bp plasmid; subtract
1bp from each site beyond BamH I at 198.
pET-23c(+) is a 3664bp plasmid; subtract
2bp from each site beyond BamH I at 198.
pET-23d(+) is a 3663bp plasmid; the BamH I
site is in the same reading frame as in pET23c(+). An Nco I site is substituted for the
Nde I site with a net 1bp deletion at position
238 of pET-23c(+). As a result, Nco I cuts
pET-23d(+) at 234, and Nhe I cuts at 229.
For the rest of the sites, subtract 3bp from
each site beyond position 239 in pET-23a(+).
Nde I does not cut pET-23d(+). Note also
that Sty I is not unique in pET-23d(+).
