Plasmid Information

URL: http://www.addgene.org/24349

Proper Citation: RRID:Addgene_24349

Insert Name: 5xQUAS-Pmin promoter

Organism: Drosophila melanogaster

Bacterial Resistance: Ampicillin

Defining Citation: PMID:20434990

Vector Backbone Description: Backbone Marker:Brand and Perrimon, 1993; Backbone Size:8950; Vector Backbone:pUAST; Vector Types:Insect Expression; Bacterial Resistance:Ampicillin

Comments: This vector was designed to mimic the multi-cloning site of the pUAST vector (Brand and Perrimon, 1993) thereby allowing easy exchange of inserts between pUAST and pQUAST. pUAST was digest by SphI and EcoRI and blunted with Klenow to remove the 5xUAS and hsp70 minimal promoter (minP). pQUAS-GG was digested with BamHI and EcoRI to excise the 5xQUAS and Pmin and then blunted. The 5xQUAS-Pmin promoter was then ligated into the modified pUAST vector to generate pQUAST. Any gene X can be subcloned from pUAST-geneX into pQUAST using the same restriction sites that were originally utilized for pUAST-geneX construction. If the pUAST- geneX plasmid is not available, genomic DNA from flies containing the UAS-geneX transgene can be used. In this case, pQUAST-geneX can be constructed as follows: 1) PCR amplify the UAS insert from UAS-geneX genomic DNA by using the primer pairs genUASFOR (GCTTCGTCTACGGAGCGACAATTCAATTCAAAC) and genUASREVsv40 (GCAGTAGCCTCATCATCACTAGATGGCATTTCTTC). These primers will amplify the insert for any UAS construct, including the restriction sites used for cloning of that insert into the UAS vector. 2) If the restriction sites used for cloning of the UAS insert are unknown, sequence the PCR fragment using UASFOR-SEQ (TCAAACAAGCAAAGTGAACACG) and SV40REV-SEQ (CCATTCATCAGTTCCATAGGTTGG) primers. 3) Digest the PCR product with appropriate enzymes for cloning into pQUAST.

Data and Source Information

Source: Addgene (RRID:SCR_002037)
Description: Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
