Depositor Comments

Polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify full-length human PLK4 from the expressed sequence tag AI561146 clone IMAGE:2210962 (RZPD, Berlin, Germany). The cDNA was then subcloned into mammalian expression vector pcDNA3.1/3x myc-A providing an N-terminal Myc tag. Construct was verified by sequencing.

Addgene NGS results found additional amino acids - ESRGPV - at the very C-terminus of the insert compared to the NCBI reference [AAX43264.1], but construct should function as described in the associated publication.
