Depositor Comments

Please note: Plasmid contains a 39bp deletion that removes the N-terminal amino acids AQDCYEFTLEKRE from the luciferase compared to the depositor's insert sequence. It is not known how this discrepancy affects the plasmid function, though the plasmid was functional in the depositor's experiments.
