Description:
This control plasmid contains the gene encoding the Histone H2B protein cloned upstream of the CLIP-tag™ coding sequence in pCLIP-tag™(m), as a fusion to the N- terminus of the CLIP-tag. Histone H2B is a member of the core histones that package DNA in the nucleus. The H2B-CLIP fusion protein gives nuclear fluorescence when labeled with CLIP-Cell substrates. The full sequence and map for pCLIP-H2B can be downloaded at www.neb.com. 

The CLIP-tag is a novel tool for protein research, allowing the specific, covalent attachment of virtually any molecule to a protein of interest. The CLIP-tag is a small protein based on human O6-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase (AGT). CLIP-tag substrates are derivates of benzylcytosine (BC). In the labeling reaction, the substituted benzyl group of the substrate is covalently attached to the reactive cysteine of CLIP-tag forming a stable thioether link. Although CLIP-tag is based on the same protein as SNAP-tag®, the benzylcytosine substrates form a separate class of substrates, different from the benzylguanine substrates recognized by SNAP-tag. CLIP-tag and SNAP-tag can be used for orthogonal simultaneous labeling. There are two steps to using this system: sub-cloning and expression of the protein of interest as a CLIP-tag fusion, and labeling of the fusion with the CLIP-tag substrate of choice.


Materials Required but not Supplied:
Tissue culture media and reagents
Mammalian cell lines
Transfection reagents
CLIP-tag substrates





Live CHO-K1 cells transiently transfected with pCLIP-H2B. Cells were labeled with CLIP-Cell 505 (green) for 60 minutes and counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (blue).
