pKM1000
 
 Description: A Gateway™ destination vector for the production of recombinant proteins as fusions to the C-terminus of Thermatoga maritima maltodextrin-binding protein.
   
 Origin: A derivative of pET11c (Novagen)
   
 Replicon: ColE1
   
 Antibotic Resistance: Ampicillin
   
 Promotor: bacteriophage T7
   
 Inducer: IPTG (1 mM)
   
 Notes: The single cysteine in T. maritima MBP (residue 12) was changed to a serine by site-directed mutagenesis. Because it carries a gene (ccdB ) that encodes a lethal DNA gyrase poison, this vector must be propogated in an E. coli gyrA mutant such as DB3 or DB5 (Invitrogen), which is immune to the action of CcdB.
