Mutant TetRs

In vitro Main | Why TetR? | Mutant TetRs | MITOMI Data | In-vivo & In-vitro outline

How

We used two distinct strategies to make the mutants:

Site-specific mutagenesis , which consists of both a plasmid amplification step with forward and reverse primers containing the targeted mutation and a selection step (enzymatic digestion of the methylated dsDNA)

: first it specifically amplifies two halves of the gene of interest from a linear template introducing mutation in one of them, than with a stich-PCR joins the halves and adds the needed extensions.

The plasmid that we used had a C-terminal eGFP fusion to the TetR and the linear template had a C-terminal His-tag. The promoters added were SP6 in the first case and the T7 in the second.
