Description:
pTYB3 is an E. coli expression vector (7,477 bp) used in the IMPACT™ Protein Purification System (1). This C-terminal fusion vector is designed for the in-frame insertion of a target gene into a polylinker upstream of an intein tag (the Sce VMA intein/chitin binding domain, 55 kDa) (1,2). This results in the fusion of the C-terminus of the target protein to the N-terminus of the intein tag. Thiol-induced self-cleavage of the intein releases the target protein from the chitin-bound intein tag, resulting in a single column purification of the target protein (3).

For fusion of the N-terminus of the target protein to the intein tag, use pTYB11 (NEB #N6901S) or pTYB12 (NEB #N6902S).

Source:
pTYB3 is isolated from an E. coli strain (r? m?) by a standard plasmid purification procedure.

Advantages:
  • The NcoI site in the polylinker contains an ATG sequence for translation initiation.
  • Use of the SapI site allows cloning of the target protein adjacent to the intein, resulting in cleavage of the target protein without any additional amino acids at its C-terminus.
  • Unique sites are indicated in bold.
  • Expression of the fusion gene is under the control of an IPTG-inducible T7 promoter (4).
  • Origin of DNA replication from bacteriophage M13, which allows for the production of single-stranded DNA by helper phage superinfection of cells bearing the plasmid (M13K07 Helper Phage, NEB #N0315S).
  • A pBR322 derivative with a ColE1 replication origin.
  • Ampicillin resistance.
  • T7 Universal Primer (NEB #S1248S) and Intein Reverse Primer (NEB #S1261S) are available for Sequencing the insert.
  • Other IMPACT vectors are available which allow for fusion of a target gene to N- or C- terminus of an intein. The cleavage reaction may be induced by thiol reagent or temperature/pH shift.
  • Companion vectors (pTYB1, pTYB2, pTYB4) differ only in the sites present in the polylinker.
  • A wide range of E. coli host strains: ER2566 (NEB) or BL21 (DE3) and derivatives.
