Hi netters,
I'm designing a phage expression vector for Ab genes.  The 3' of the heavy =
chain will be joined to a c-myc tag which is then joined to protein 3 from =
filamentous phage.  The constructs that I have found separate the 3' of the=
 heavy chain from the c-myc tag with a NotI site (ala ala ala).  Between =
the c-myc and the protein 3 is (gly gly gly gly ser).  Because of the way =
I have to build my vector, I have to incorporate other amino acids but I =
am afraid they will interact with other sequences.  Between c-myc and =
protein 3 I am going to have to add 2 amino acids to give (thr ser gly gly =
gly gly ser).  Between the 3' end of the heavy chain and c-myc I may have =
to add 2 amino acids as well to give (thr ser ala ala ala).  I can avoid =
adding the thr ser in this one by doing site directed mutagenesis at 2 =
locations in the vector.  Is it worth doing the site-directed mutagenesis =
to avoid the 2 extra amino acids?  Do you think the (thr ser) will cause =
any problem interactions in either situation?

Thanks ahead of time for your help.  Any input would be great.  my address =
