| 摘要 |
A novel universal dominant selectable marker cassette is disclosed. The marker comprises the coding sequences for aminoglycoside phosphotransferase I (APH-I) which has been modified and truncated so as to render its use in recombinant vectors more convenient. The modified, truncated sequence (mtAPH-I) gene is capable, upon expression, of conferring resistance to a number of antibiotics on the host. One of these antibiotics, G418, is toxic to eucaryotic as well as procaryotic hosts. Also disclosed are methods of constructing fusion proteins having N-terminal sequences corresponding to a desired peptide sequence, and C-terminal sequences comprising the amino acids encoded by mtAPH-I.
