The sequence of full‐length coding Ptchd1 mouse cDNA was amplified from the IMAGE cDNA clone 40095445 (GenBank accession number BC116312; Source BioSience) and cloned in pAcGFP1‐N vectors using In‐Fusion cloning strategy (Catalog no. 632501, Clontech) to generate PTCHD1‐GFP with GFP tag at the C‐terminal end (previously described in Ung et al. (2018 (link))). Importantly, the murine PTCHD1 protein shares the same amino acids length (888) with 98% of sequence identity between murine and human PTCHD1 proteins. The mutant PTCHD1‐GFP plasmids were generated using the Q5® Site‐Directed Mutagenesis Kit (New England Biolabs) according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The primer sequences for each mutagenesis are indicated in Table S1. The efficiency of the site‐directed mutagenesis was verified by Sanger Sequencing.
