PSI Plasmid of the Month

Each month we will highlight a different PSI plasmid or plasmid collection which may interest you.

pMHTdelta238: Expresses Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) protease

Who Created by CESG at the University of Wisconsin
What Tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease expressed with a T7-MBP tag
MBP is removed by auto cleavage
Where TEV protease can be expressed in vitro to be used in in vitro cleavage reactions
Why Valuable for removing fusion tags from recombinant proteins and the many PSI plasmids and empty vectors that incorporate TEV protease sites
How For more information, please see this publication written about this plasmid by the CESG.
