Takara's pCold Expression Vectors offer cold shock expression technology for high purity, high yield protein production. The series includes four different vectors that utilize the cold shock Protein A (cspA) promoter to direct expression of recombinant protein in E. coli. These vectors selectively induce target protein synthesis at low temperatures (15°C) when the synthesis of other proteins is suppressed and protease activity is decreased. This results in high yield of the target protein (60% of intracellular protein). In addition to the cspA promoter, all four vectors contain a lac operator (for control of expression), ampicillin resistance gene (amp^r), ColE1 origin of replication, M13 IG fragment, and multiple cloning site (MCS). Furthermore, three of the vectors also contain either a translation enhancing element (TEE), His-Taq sequence, and/or Factor Xa cleavage site. These vectors work equally well for synthesis of non-labeled and radiolabeled proteins and can be used in conjunction with Takara's Chaperone Plasmid Set (Cat.# 3340).

Stellar Competent Cells are an E. coli HST08 strain that provides high transformation efficiency. These cells can be used in a wide variety of applications—from preparation of cDNA and genomic libraries, to construction of longer-length genomic libraries, to subcloning, and even methylated DNA cloning. Stellar Competent Cells lack the gene cluster for cutting foreign methylated DNA (mrr-hsdRMS-mcrBC and mcrA), and are therefore useful for cloning methylated DNA. The cells can also be used for blue/white screening (i.e., α-complementation) when transformed with vectors containing the lacZα gene. A pUC19 vector is provided as well as SOC Medium. Stellar Competent Cells are recommended for use with Clontech's In-Fusion PCR Cloning Kits.
