Description:
Eukaryotic expression vector, pSV40β expresses the full-length codon-optimized β-galactosidase gene (lacZco) under the control of simian virus 40 (SV40) early promoter. The nls12 variant results from the addition of a twelve amino acid sequence, ProLysLysLysArgLysValGluAspProLysAsp (from the SV40 T antigen nuclear localization signal) after the methionine initiation residue.

Application:
When expressed in mammalian cells, the codon-optimized gene results in expression levels of β-galactosidase 15-fold higher than those resulting from an analogous construct containing the native E. coli gene sequence. Enhanced transcript stability and increased translational efficiency provide for increased β-galactosidase expression, as suggested by RNA analysis. In addition, codon-optimization results in the elimination of several cryptic splice acceptor sites that are present in the native E. coli gene sequence and increases the amounts of un-spliced, full-length genomic RNA when used in a lentiviral vector containing a 5'-splice donor. The β-galactosidase enzyme expression is also enhanced by the SV40 late polyadenylylation signal. The pSV40β expression vector also contains β-lactamase, which acts as a selection marker (100 ug/ml ampicillin resistance) in E. coli host. If desired, the β-galactosidase codon optimized gene can be excised using XhoI and NotI sites to allow the insertion of other genes to be expressed under the same regulatory elements in mammalian cells.
