To obtain pAAV-hSyn-GFP-IRES-tTA vector, DNA fragment of GFP-IRES-tTA from pAAV-TRE-fDIO-GFP-IRES-tTA66 (link) was inserted into the pAAV-hSyn-DIO-hM3D(Gq)-mCherry67 (link) lacking DIO-hM3D(Gq)-mCherry region by SalI and EcoRV digestion using the NEBuilder HiFi DNA assembly (NEB). DNA fragment of the hSyn promoter regions was exchanged for the L7 minimal promoter68 (link) to construct pAAV-L7-GFP-IRES-tTA.
To obtain AAV-TRE-HA-mGlu1(WT) or AAV-TRE-HA-mGlu1(N264H), DNA fragment of TRE promoter and WPRE335 (link) were obtained from pAAV-TRE-fDIO-GFP-IRES-tTA66 (link), and SV40 late polyA was from pCI-neo vector (Promega). DNA fragment of HA-tagged mGlu1 was obtained by inserting HA-tag after the membrane localization signal of mGlu1. These DNA fragments were inserted into pAAV-hSyn-DIO-hM3D(Gq)-mCherry67 (link) lacking DNA fragment from hSyn promoter to hGH polyA by MluI and PmlI digestion using the NEBuilder HiFi DNA assembly (NEB). See Supplementary Fig. 14a for illustration of these vector constructs. pAAV-hSyn-DIO-hM3D(Gq)-mCherry and pAAV-TRE-fDIO-GFP-IRES-tTA are gifts from Bryan Roth (Addgene plasmid #44361) and Minmin Luo (Addgene plasmid #118026), respectively.
