All plasmids in this study were constructed through polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-base strategy and sequenced to confirm their identity. Full cDNA sequence of mouse Hsd17b4 was purchased from Darmacon (USA) (MMM4769-202765308). Full sequence Hsd17b4 was constructed in the pEBB-Flag and pEBB-GFP vector (Min et al., 2020 (link)). The untagged protein expressing construct was generated as well. In order to identify PS binding region of Hsd17b4, the three domains of Hsd17b4 were constructed in the pEBG-GST vector. GST-Hsd17b41-305, GST-Hsd17b4321-621, and GST-Hsd17b4633-730 contain the hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase domain, Enoyl-CoA hydratase 2 domain, and the SCP2-like domain of Hsd17b4. HA-Tim-4IgV was previously reported (Lee et al., 2019 (link)).
