Genes encoding for fusion proteins were assembled as a multicomponent cloning cassette from annealed oligonucleotides (IDT DNA) containing these elements (in order): BglII or NheI or BamHI — Secretion Signal/FLAG tag — HindIII — (αDTX or DTX-K or CONK1) — KpnI — Linker — LOV2-Jα(404–546) — NotI — PDGF-R-mCherry — XbaI or EcoRI. PDGF-R-mcherry was derived from pFU-MVIIA-PC (Addgene)10 (link). See Table 1 for sequence details. This cassette was inserted into the mammalian expression vector pcDNA3.1(+) (Invitrogen) using NheI / Xba restriction sites or a lentiviral vector containing the CAMKII promoter35 (link),36 (link) using BamHI / EcoRI sites. The respective genes coding for rat Kv1.2 (Kv1.2), rat Kv1.1 (Kv1.1) or Shaker were amplified from Kv1.2-pBluescript, Shaker-pBluescript (gifts from Roderick Mackinnon), or BacMam Kv1.1 (Invitrogen) and inserted into pcDNA3.1(+) or pEGFP-N3 using BamHI / EcoRI or NheI/EcoRI, respectively. Both αDTX-lumitoxin and Kv1.2 cassettes were also inserted into the bidirectional expression vector pBI-CMV1 (Clontech) using BglII / XbaI and BamHI / NotI sites respectively, to drive expression from the same plasmid.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
