Resource Information

  • A portion of this plasmid was derived from a plasmid made by
    The original ChIEF portion was obtained from Roger Tsien (UCSD/HHMI) through 3rd party Ed Boyden (MIT). The Boyden construct containing ChIEF has a 10 aa truncation at the C terminus of ChIEF compared to the original ref sequence but was tested and confirmed as functional in the Boyden lab.

Depositor Comments

The addition of the E162A and T198C mutations in ChIEF impart higher photocurrent amplitude while retaining fast kinetic properties. This variant is proposed as an alternative to ChETA variants that exhibit smaller photocurrents and more toxicity.
