pOpt2_PsaD_aadA_Min

From Kyle Lauersen, Olaf Kruse lab, Bielefeld University-Germany, May 2018

This is a minimized version of the pOpt2 vector which contains only a gene of interest cassette for reporter fusion to the aadA spectinomycin resistance gene. The vector has full complementarity to the pOpt2 vectors and contains the PsaD chloroplast targeting peptide between NdeI-BamHI. Fusion proteins can be generated for desired targets in fusion to the aadA and spectinomycin resistance allows direct selection for expressing transformants. This selection works whether fusion proteins are targeted to the algal chloroplast or the cytoplasm.

Host strain: DH5α
Selection in E. coli: ampicillin
