pDW445
 
 Description: This baculovirus transfer vector enables a protein of interest to be produced with a biotin acceptor peptide (BAP) fused to its N-terminus in Spodoptera frugiperda cells.
   
 Origin: A derivative of p2Bac (Invitrogen)
   
 Replicon: ColE1/pUC (High copy number)
   
 Antibotic Resistance: Ampicillin
   
 Promotor: p10 (late)
   
 Inducer: Not Applicable
   
 Notes: pDW445 also overproduces E. coli biotin holoenzyme synthetase (BirA), under polyhedron promoter control, so that BAP-tagged proteins can be biotinylated in Spodoptera frugiperda cells. pDW445 recombines with the polyhedron locus in the baculovirus genome.
