Table 5. Zinc Finger Consortium vectors for expression of zinc finger arrays as ZFNs.
Plasmid name | For expression in… | FokI cleavage domain type |
---|---|---|
pST1374a | mammalian cells, zebrafish (RNA) | wild-type |
pMLM290b | mammalian cells, zebrafish (RNA) | “+” obligate heterodimer15 |
pMLM292b | mammalian cells, zebrafish (RNA) | “−” obligate heterodimer15 |
pDW1775a | plants | wild-type |
Zinc finger arrays selected by OPEN can be directly cloned into the ZFC expression plasmids listed using unique XbaI and BamHI sites. The resulting plasmids express a ZFN with a linker of sequence LRGS between the last conserved histidine of the carboxy-terminal zinc finger and the first amino acid of the FokI nuclease domain.
