Depositor Comments

Note: It is difficult to sequence entirely through 2 tandem mCherrys. Users are encouraged to perform a double-digest on this plasmid with BamHI and EcoRI to verify the presence of a ~2.2kb band corresponding to the EMTB insert + 2XmCherry. Please see above attachment.

The microtubule binding domain of ensconsin (EMTB) was fused to multiple mCherry molecules in order to visualize microtubules. Please note that this plasmid has recombined and is currently only 2X mCherry.

mCherry sequences have point mutation at R154 (CGG to AGA) for optimal codon usage in Xenopus.
