β¦ Synopsis
We describe a modification which can be carried out on the pET vector series that destroys the rop function in these vectors. The modified vectors have the following advantages : i) increased plasmid copy number, ii) augmented heterologous protein expression of the target gene, iii) elimination of plasmid incompatibility, and iv) they are smaller in size, consequently, they have higher transformation efficiency and can accommodate larger DNA inserts. Additionally, several restriction sites become unique allowing easier restriction mapping of inserts when required.
