MAT System Vectors


The new MAT tag or Metal Affinity Tag (HNHRHKH) provides for highly sensitive detection using the Anti-MAT™ antibody and robust one-step purification of recombinant MAT fusion proteins using HIS-Select™ Nickel and Cobalt Affinity Gels.

 

  • Bacterial Expression-tac Promoter
  • Bacterial Expression-T7 Promoter
  • Mammalian Expression
  • Insect Cell Expression

 

Bacterial Expression-tac Promoter


  • Cytoplasmic expression
  • N- or C- terminal fusion proteins
  • Ampicillin resistance, T1T2 transcriptional terminator, pMB1(derivative of pBR322) origin of replication, and lacI gene for repression of the tac promoter
  • Expression levels using the tac promoter may be in excess of 10 mg/L of culture when using IPTG as a de-repressor
  • Expression in any established Escherichia coli expression host

Bacterial Expression-T7 Promoter


  • Cytoplasmic expression
  • N- or C- terminal fusions, dual tag configurations
  • FLAG® vectors for highly sensitive detection and purification using ANTI-FLAG® antibodies, resins, and plates
  • Ampicillin resistance, T1T2 transcriptional terminator, pMB1 (derivative of pBR322) origin of replication, and lacI gene for repression of the T7 promoter
  • Higher yields of recombinant protein than tac system
  • lac operator (lacO) sequences reduce leaky expression
  • Requires hosts with a source of the T7 polymerase such as (DE3) lysogenic strains

Mammalian Expression


  • Transient, cytoplasmic expression
  • N- or C- terminal dual tag configurations
  • FLAG® vectors for highly sensitive detection and purification using ANTI-FLAG® antibodies, resins, and plates
  • Strong human cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter regulatory region drives constitutive protein expression levels as high as 1 mg/L in COS cells (in less potent cell lines, protein levels are typically ~0.1 mg/L)
  • pMB1 (derivative of pBR322) origin for replication in bacterial cells
  • Ampicillin resistance selection in bacteria

Insect Cell Expression


  • N-terminal and C-terminal configurations
  • Compatible with commercially available ORF 1629 deleted baculoviral DNA
  • Strong polyhedrin (polh) promoter results in high-level expression of target genes during the very late phase of infection
  • AcNPV ORF 603 and ORF1629 regions flank the polh promoter and MCS for homologous recombination with baculoviral DNA and generation of recombinant baculovirus
  • pUC origin of replication and β-lactamase gene (ampr for propagation and selection in bacterial cells
