CV-CLO57 (Eq. pUC57)
CV-CLO57 (Eq. pUC57)
CV-CLO57 has a sequence identical to the classic pUC57 cloning vector. This high-copy plasmid carries an ampicillin resistance marker and a ColE1-derived origin, and includes a multiple cloning site within the lacZα fragment for blue–white screening in E. coli. Its compact size makes it a versatile backbone for general cloning applications.

Background
pUC57 is a synthetic derivative of the pUC series, widely used as a general-purpose cloning vector. It retains the key features of pUC19, including the high-copy ColE1-derived origin and lacZα multiple cloning site, while providing a streamlined backbone optimized for custom cloning. CV-CLO57 preserves the exact sequence of pUC57 as referenced in GenBank: Y14837.1, ensuring full compatibility with published protocols and sequence data.
Features
- Antibiotic selection: Ampicillin (bla)
- Origin of replication: ColE1-derived, high copy (~500–700/cell)
- Size: ~2.7 kb
- MCS: Multiple cloning site within lacZα fragment for blue–white screening
- Design: Compact synthetic backbone with minimal nonessential sequence
Applications
- Routine cloning and subcloning in E. coli
- Blue–white screening of recombinant colonies
- High-yield plasmid DNA preparation
- Template backbone for custom constructs
- Educational and teaching applications
Limitations
- Single selection marker (ampicillin) limits flexibility
- Not designed for protein expression without added regulatory elements
- High copy number may place a metabolic burden on the host in some contexts
