Depositor Comments

Improved (i)LifeAct-mCherry is prepared by mutating the start codon of the fluorophore ATGxCTG leaving a unique Kosak sequence-enhanced ATG start codon preceeding the LifeAct. We have experimentally detected in previous LifeAct versions that polymerase tend to skip LifeAct translation and start translation at the fluorophore instead, increasing fluorophore-derived background.
