pTYB22 Vector

Features

• The multiple cloning site (MCS) is compatible with the multiple cloning sites of vectors in the pMAL Protein Fusion and Purification System (NEB #E8200) and the K. lactis Protein Expression Kit (NEB #E1000).
• After the cleavage of the intein tag, a target protein is obtained with extra residue(s) added to N-terminus. For instance, cloning the 5´end of a target gene using NdeI site in pTYB22 adds extra three residues (Ala-Gly-His) to the N-terminus of the target protein. 
• A stop codon should be included in the reverse primer.
• Compatible sites are present in both pTYB22 (eg. NdeI and EcoRV) and pTYB2 (eg. NdeI and SmaI; Other IMPACT vectors are available which allow for fusion of a target gene to N- or C- terminus of an intein. The cleavage reaction can be induced by thiol reagent or temperature/pH shift.
• A pBR322 derivative with a ColE1 replication origin.
• Expression of the fusion gene is under the control of the T7/lac promoter and can be induced by IPTG due to the presence of a lacI gene (5).
• Expression requires an E. coli host that carries the T7 RNA Polymerase gene [e.g.,T7 Express Competent E. coli (High Efficiency),  (NEB #C2566)  or BL21(DE3) Competent E. coli (NEB #C2527) and derivatives].
• Ampicillin resistance.
• When pTYB21 or pTYB22 is used, a small peptide (15 amino acids, 1.6 kDa) is also cleaved from the intein tag and co-eluted with the target protein. It cannot be detected on a regular SDS-PAGE and can be dialyzed out.
• Origin of DNA replication from the bacteriophage M13 allows for the production of single-stranded DNA by helper phage superinfection of cells bearing the plasmid. M13K07 Helper Phage (NEB #N0315) is available.
