Go to Oxford Expression Technologies website
Oxford Expression Technologies has release a new family of Transfer Plasmids that are designed to form the perfect complement to their existing flashBAC™ range of plasmids. The gene of interest undergoes homologous recombination into the virus genome (eg  flashBAC™) from the transfer plasmid. Hence cloning into the transfer plasmid forms the essential first step in a baculovirus expression experiment. The new pOET™ Transfer Plasmids offer a number of features that make them an ideal starting point for expression work.

Technical Overview of pOET Transfer Plasmids
pOET range of baculovirus transfer plasmids are designed for high level expression of foreign genes under either the powerful AcMNPV polyhedrin (polh) promoter or under AcMNPV p6.9 promoter which provides for earlier expression than the polh promoter. All pOET transfer plasmids have a Col E1 origin of replication and an ampicillin resistance gene for selection in E. coli.

The plasmids are smaller than other available transfer plasmids and range in size between ca 4,500bp and ca 4,700bp, which greatly facilitates the cloning process. The polh coding sequences have been replaced by a multiple cloning site (MCS) containing multiple unique restriction sites for insertion of the foreign gene. The AcMNPV sequences flanking the MCS facilitate recombination with the virus DNA to insert the expression cassette into the polh locus. As well as Oxford Expression Technologies flashBAC platform, these plasmids can also be used with any other baculovirus system that uses homologous recombination to insert the foreign gene into the virus genome.
 
Common features of ALL pOET Transfer Plasmids:
  • Small size simplifies the cloning process
  • High level expression is achieved under the control of powerful promoters (either the polh promoter or the p6.9 promoter)
  • Directional cloning of gene of interest into the plasmid is made possible by the presence of multiple unique restriction sites
  • Col E1 origin of replication and an ampicillin resistance gene for selection in E. coli
  • AcMNPV sequences flanking the multiple cloning site (MCS) facilitates recombination with the virus DNA to insert the expression cassette into the polh locus
  • Perfect companion product to the flashBAC™ system
  • Compatible with other baculovirus systems that use homologous recombination

pOET1N_6xHis and pOET2N/C_6xHis

Go to Oxford Expression Technologies website
pOET1N_6xHis and pOET2N/C_6xHis are baculovirus transfer plasmids designed for high level expression of foreign genes under the powerful AcMNPV polyhedrin (polh) promoter.

The pOET1N_6xHis plasmid encodes for an optional N-terminal 6xHis-Tag® fusion sequence that may be utilised if the insert allows readthrough in the correct reading frame.

The pOET2N/C_6xHis plasmid encodes an N-terminal 6xHis-Tag® fusion sequence that may be utilised if the insert includes a stop codon. There is also a 6xHis-Tag®for C-terminal fusions where the start codon of the insert can be used to replace the start codon supplied in pOET2N/C_6xHis.

This presence of an N- or C-terminal 6×His-Tag® fusion sequence greatly eases the purification of the recombinant protein since the 6×His-containing fusion proteins bind with high affinity to Ni-NTA Agarose. If required, the 6×His-Tag® can be removed by incubating the fusion protein in the presence of the proteinase cleavage enzyme Thrombin. The PacI site at the end of the MCS provides translational stop codons in all three reading frames for expression of truncated proteins.
 
  • Small size (pOET1N - 4,598bp and pOET2N/C - 4,626bp) - makes the cloning steps easy
    Both plasmids ecode for an optional N-terminal 6xHis-Tag® fusion sequence
  • pOET2N/C also ecodes for an optional C-terminal 6xHis-Tag® fusion sequence
  • 6×His-Tag® can be removed by incubating the fusion protein in the presence of the proteinase cleavage enzyme Thrombin
  • High level expression from the polh promoter
  • The PacI site at the end of the MCS provides translational stop codons in all three reading frames for expression of truncated proteins
