pPAGFP-VSVG
(Plasmid #11915)

• Depositing Lab: Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz
• Publication: Presley et al Nature. 1997 Sep 4. 389(6646):81-5.

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pEGFP-N1
• Backbone manufacturer: Clontech
• Backbone size w/o insert (bp): 4733
• Vector type: Mammalian Expression
• Selectable markers: Neomycin (select with G418)

Growth in Bacteria

• Bacterial Resistance(s): Kanamycin, 50 μg/mL
• Growth Temperature: 37°C
• Growth Strain(s): DH5alpha
• Copy number: Unknown

Gene/Insert

• Gene/Insert name: VSVG
• Alt name: Vesicular stomatitus virus G protein
• Insert Size (bp): 1500
• Mutation: (L64F/T65S/V163A/T203H). The PAGFP also contains an A206K mutation to disrupt dimerization. The EGFP (Clontech Laboratories, Inc., Palo, Alto, CA) contains a valine immediately after the start codon that is not found in the wild type sequence. However, to avoid confusion with previously published work on GFP mutants, the wild type residue numbers are used.

Depositor Comments

The EGFP (Clontech Laboratories, Inc., Palo, Alto, CA) contains a valine immediately after the start codon that is not found in the wild type sequence. However, to avoid confusion with previously published work on GFP mutants, the wild type residue numbers are used. The Kozak sequence at the beginning of the GFP encoding region of the pEGFP-N1 plasmid from Clontech has been disrupted. Reference for the A206K mutation is Zacharias, D. A., Violin, J. D., Newton, A. C., and Tsien, R. Y. (2002) Science 296, 913-6. Reference for PAGFP is Patterson, G. H., and Lippincott-Schwartz, J. (2002) Science 297, 1873-7.
