The pShooter vectors are designed to localize recombinant proteins to the nucleus, mitochondria,
endoplasmic reticulum, or cytoplasm. In addition to the localization signal, each pShooter vector
contains:
• Strong mammalian promoter (CMV or EF-1a) for constitutive expression of your protein of interest
• C-terminal c-myc epitope for detection with an Anti-myc Antibody
• Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH) polyadenylation site for mRNA stability
• f1 origin for single-stranded rescue of sense DNA
• Neomycin resistance gene for selection of mammalian cells with Geneticin selection agent
• Ampicillin resistance and pUC origin for selection and maintenance in E. coli
Each vector is provided with a positive control plasmid. The positive control expresses GFP and targets
it to the same subcellular location as the pShooter vector.
