Design Notes

It is a constitutive promoter. It is translation of translational elongation factor EF-1 alpha. When it is the GTP-bound active form, binds to and delivers aminoacylated tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes for elongation of nascent polypeptides.It also associates with vacuolar Rho1p GTPase. TEF1 may also have a role in tRNA re-export from the nucleus. TEF1 has a paralog, TEF2, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Source

We use PCR to amplify the part from a plasmid CAN-A which contains a half part of gene CAN and has TEF1 as its promoter.
