Unfortunately, a complete sequence file has been lacking, thus complicating efforts to design cloning projects or to modify the plasmid for other uses (e.g. exchanging selection markers, epitope tags or protease cleavage sites to remove the epitope tag). Here, the complete sequence of the pEG(KT) plasmid is reported, thus facilitating its use. Additionally, its use as a vector backbone for high-level expression of a TAP-tagged protein is shown.Yeast (Chichester, England)Sequence of the yeast protein expression plasmid pEG(KT).PMC4633309R01 GM060979R01 GM60979Pierce BDWendland BfalseSequence of the yeast protein expression plasmid pEG(KT).The plasmid pEG(KT) is a widely used plasmid for expressing high levels of GST fusion proteins in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
