Depositor Comments

This plasmid encodes an oxygen-regulation insensitive (normoxia-stable and active) full-length murine HIF-1α.

Full-length murine HIF-1α cDNA was generated by reverse transcription-PCR and inserted into a pcDNA3 expression vector by using primers incorporated with restriction sites.

A 10-amino-acid c-myc tag was further inserted at the C terminus of the HIF-1α cDNAs by using a Pfu-PCR-based protocol. The same Pfu-PCR protocol was then used to change residues Proline 402, Proline 577 and Asparagine 813 to alanines. The newly constructed plasmid was sequenced to confirm encoding of the correct protein.

Alternate plasmid names: HIF-1α triple mutant (TM); pcDNA3 HIF-1α TM
