Depositor Comments

Contains Gateway R3L2 sites. TetO is missing 2 repeats. Drives expression of mCherry-P2A-Rs1 cassette. Contains insulator sequence

Plasmid was constructed as follows: The pEntr2B entry vector was digested with AflII and XhoI to remove the attL1 and ccdb genes. Oligos
containing the attR3 site flanked by AflII on the 5' end and a polylinker (NotI-PacI-Bsu36I-NdeI-XhoI) on the 3' end were ligated to generate the empty pEntR3L2-MCS intermediate. Using PCR cloning, the TetO-beta globin
intron sequence from pTetO (pUHD10.3) was cloned into the NotI/PacI sites in the reverse orientation,
and a 3' SbfI site was introduced. The pA sequence from pDest27 was then cloned into the NotI/SbfI sites, again in reverse orientation. A LoxP site was introduced into the NdeI/XhoI sites, allowing full excision of the targeted construct when used together with the LoxP site in the pEntl1L3 vector. The CBG core insulator was then cloned into the Bsu36I/NdeI sites to generate the starting entry vector pEntR3L2 TetO(fl)-2 (Addgene plasmid number 24416).
The mCherry-P2A-Rs1 RASSL cassette was cloned into the NotI site to generate pEntR3L2 TetO(sh) mCh-Rs1-2. The Rs1 was PCR amplified from pUNIV-SIG-5HTR4D100A and the mCherry was PCR cloned from pRset-mCherry. The self-cleaving 2A site generates two separate peptides in equal concentrations via a ribosomal “skip” mechanism just before the C-terminal end of the 2A peptide and has been useful for making multicistronic reporters. During sequencing of
the final pEntR3L2 TetO(sh) mCh-Rs1-2 construct (abbreviated pEntR3L2 TetO-mCh-Rs1), the TetO region was noted to carry a deletion of two of the 7 tTA binding site repeats. However, the
shortened TetO retained comparable function to the full-length TetO (designated with “fl” for full length) in
separate in vitro assays
