We constructed pIGPZ, a new cloning and expression vector derived from Escherichia coli plasmid pIGWZ12::Kan. pIGPZ contains a kanamycin resistance marker, a multiple-cloning-site (MCS) region, and a promoter for constitutive expression of cloned genes. pIGPZ has the same high level of stability as the original plasmid, even in the absence of antibiotic selection. Furthermore, we show that pIGPZ is compatible with ColE1-based plasmids and a pSC101-like plasmid. All the characteristic elements of theta-replicating plasmids were found in the pIGPZ putative origin of replication. Finally, we demonstrate that pIGPZ can be used in a double-plasmid expression system by co-expressing UBP1 protease from pIGPZ with ubi-interferon alpha (IFNA13; GenBank Accession No. NM_006900.3) or ubi-human growth hormone (ubi-hGH; patent No. WO 2005/066208 A2) cloned in another plasmid. In this system, both ubi-interferon alpha and ubi-human growth hormone were deubiquitinated efficiently in E. coli cells.
► A new cloning- expression vector pIGPZ was constructed.
► Two more derivatives were constructed with changed antibiotic resistance markers.
► pIGPZ is stably maintained in Escherichia coli.
► pIGPZ can coexist with ColE1 and pSC101-like plasmids.
► pIGPZ can be used as a part of two plasmid coexpression system.
