YFP(159-238)-gamma-7 in pcDNAI/Amp
(Plasmid #54473)

• Purpose: A carboxyl-terminal YFP fragment was fused to Ggamma-7. When co-expressed with an amino-terminal YFP fragment fused to a Gbeta subunit with which it interacts, a fluorescent signal is produced.

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pcDNAI/Amp
• Backbone manufacturer: Invitrogen
• Backbone size w/o insert (bp): 4800
• Total vector size (bp): 5233
• Modifications to backbone: A BglII site was introduced to into the polylinker of pcDNAI/Amp 3' to the BamHI site.
• Vector type: Mammalian Expression

Growth in Bacteria

• Bacterial Resistance(s): Ampicillin, 100 μg/mL
• Growth Temperature: 37°C
• Growth Strain(s): DH10B
• Copy number: High Copy

Gene/Insert

• Gene/Insert name: YFP(159-238)-gamma-7
• Alt name: GNG7
• Species: H. sapiens (human); Aequorea victoria
• Insert Size (bp): 433
• Mutation: Ggamma-7 was amplified by PCR, which added a BamHI site and a linker sequence (Arg-Ser) to the 5' end and a 3' BglII site. Cloning into the BglII site of YFP(159-238) destroyed the BamHI site.
• Entrez Gene: GNG7
• Promoter: CMV
• Tag / Fusion Protein:
  • YFP(159-238) was fused to the amino terminus of Ggamma-7. (N terminal on insert)
