摘要
We developed a method to co-express protein pairs from collections of otherwise identical Escherichia coli plasmids expressing different ORFs by incorporating a 61-nucleotide sequence ( LINK) into the plasmid to allow generation of tandem plasmids. Tandem plasmids are formed in a ligation-independent manner, propagate efficiently, and produce protein pairs in high quantities. This greatly facilitates co-expression for structural genomics projects that produce thousands of clones bearing identical origins and antibiotic markers.
