pBAD/Myc-His Vectors, continuedMap ofpBAD/Myc-HisThe figure below summarizes the features of the pBAD/Myc-His vector. Completesequences for all three pBAD/Myc-His vectors are available for downloading from ourWorld Wide Web site (www.invitrogen.com) or by contacting Technical Service (seepage 27).

MethodsGeneral CloningIntroductionThe following information is provided to help you clone your gene of interest intopBAD/His or pBAD/Myc-His. For basic information on DNA ligations, E. colitransformations, restriction enzyme analysis, DNA sequencing, and DNA biochemistry,please see Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (Sambrook et al., 1989) or CurrentProtocols in Molecular Biology (Ausubel et al., 1994).E. coli Host For cloning and transformation, we recommend using a recA, endA strain such as TOP10(included in the kit). This strain is capable of transporting L-arabinose, but not metabolizingit. This is important for expression studies as the level of L-arabinose will be constant insidethe cell and not decrease over time. Please note that other strains may be suitable for generaluse. Be sure to check the genotype of your strain. It should be araBADC - and araEFGH +(Bachmann, 1990).The E. coli strain LMG194 is included in the kit to ensure low basal level expression oftoxic genes (Guzman et al., 1995). This strain is capable of growth on minimal medium(RM medium), which allows additional repression of P BAD by glucose. Once you havedetermined that you have the correct construct, transform it into LMG194 prior toperforming expression experiments.For your convenience, TOP10 is available as electrocompetent or chemically competentcells in a One Shot ® kit format.Item Quantity Catalog no.Electrocomp TOP10 5 x 80 µl C664-5510 x 80 µl C664-1130 x 80 µl C664-24One Shot ® TOP10 Competent Cells 21 x 50 µl C4040-03Genotype ofTOP10F- mcrA ∆(mrr-hsdRMS-mcrBC) φ80lacZ∆M15 ∆lacX74 deoR recA1 araD139 ∆(araAleu)7697galU galK rpsL endA1 nupG.

Please note that this strainis streptomycin and tetracycline resistant.Maintenance ofpBAD/His andpBAD/Myc-HisTo propagate and maintain pBAD/His or pBAD/Myc-His, we recommend that youresuspend the lyophilized vector in 20 µl sterile water to make a 1 µg/µl stock solution.Store the stock solution at -20°C.Use this stock solution to transform a recA, endA E. coli strain like DH5α, TOP10 orequivalent. Transformants are selected on LB plates containing 50-100 µg/ml ampicillin.Note: Use strains like DH5α only for propagation of pBAD/His or pBAD/Myc-His, butnot expression of recombinant proteins (see explanation above). Be sure to prepare aglycerol stock of each plasmid for long-term storage (see page 16).7
