Resource Information

  • Supplemental Documents
  • A portion of this plasmid was derived from a plasmid made by
    See gene entry for "actin assembly-inducing protein ActA" (NCBI Reference Sequence: WP_110138194.1). Here we have used only the C-terminal tail anchor sequence of this protein. mCherry sequence matches GenBank: AZP55984.1.

Depositor Comments

Transfection of this plasmid will express mCherry-fused to the N-terminus of ActA tail anchor sequence: "LILAMLAIGVFSLGAFIKIIQLRKNN", which targets the mitochondrial outer membrane and signal correlates with mitotracker Green signal in cells. "7aa" indicates the 7 aa flexible linker region, "SGLRSRV" between mCherry and the ActA targeting signal.
