hSyn ArcLightCo (Q239)-T2A-nls-mCherry
(Plasmid #85844)

• Purpose: Genetically encoded voltage sensor ArcLight- codon optimized
• Depositing Lab: Vincent Pieribone
• Publication: Platisa et al ACS Chem Neurosci. 2017 Jan 3. doi: 10.1021/acschemneuro.6b00234.

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pCS2+ hSyn1
• Backbone size w/o insert (bp): 4372
• Total vector size (bp): 5833
• Modifications to backbone: a hygromysin resistance gene was inserted to facilitate selection for stably transfected cells.
• Vector type: Mammalian Expression
• Selectable markers: Hygromycin

Growth in Bacteria

• Bacterial Resistance(s): Ampicillin, 100 μg/mL
• Growth Temperature: 37°C
• Growth Strain(s): DH5alpha
• Copy number: High Copy

Gene/Insert

• Gene/Insert name: ArcLightCo-Q239
• Alt name: ArcLight
• Alt name: CiVSP
• Alt name: Super Ecliptic pHluorin
• Species: Ciona intestinalis
• Insert Size (bp): 1461
• Mutation: Ci-VSP contains R217Q mutation; super ecliptic pHluorin contains A227D mutation. The A227D mutation increases the fluorescence response magnitude. We replaced residues 71-91 within CiVSD with an amino acid sequence (KSRITSEGEYIPLDQIDINV) from the Kir2.1 channel Golgi-to-plasma membrane trafficking signal. The Kir 2.1 channel ER export signal sequence (FCYENEV) was added to C-terminus of super ecliptic pHluorin. The sequence is codon optimized using mammalian codon preference.
