Algae Protein Expression Vector

This Biobrick Plasmid was created from pRbcRL (which is also derived from pBluescriptKS-) by putting biobrick prefix and suffix between HSP70A/RbcS2 promoter and 3'UTR sequences from RbcS2 gene. We used pRbcRL(Hsp196)for the backbone plasmid. We removed luciferase protein coding sequence(which is abbreviated as crluc)using XhoI/BamHI restriction. Then we ligated with excised plasmid with standard Biobrick prefix and suffix. Biobrick prefix and suffix contains four restriction enzymes namely XbaI, EcoRI, SpeI, PstI. This plasmid can be used for protein expression in C. reinhardtii and for cloning purposes in E.coli. it contains ampicillin for selection in E.coli. F1 origin of replication is for double stranded replication process. HSP70A is a sequence for transcriptional activation that enhances expression of the gene.
