Depositor Comments

The Sox2 cDNA contains a modified ATG start codon to TTG for cloning into vectors with an N-terminal tag. If this cDNA is used in a non-tagged construct, a functional protein (missing the first 3 amino acids--MYN) is produced as confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation, reporter assay, and other experiments.
