Depositor Comments

Transfection of this plasmid will express "VBad-2A" (Venus fused to the N-terminus of the BH3-only protein, Bad-2A) in live cells. There is a flexible, 7 amino acid linker between Venus and Bad-2A proteins. BH3 region of Bad has hydrophobic positions H2 & H4 mutated to alanine (A), refered to as a "2A mutation", Mutations: L114A, F121A. When compared with EYFP, Venus fluorophore contains the following mutations: F46L, F64L, M153T, V163A and S175G. This Venus protein contains an F224R mutation to make it monomeric.
