ProCpepRUSH (SA-KDEL-IRES-proCpep-SBP-GFP) was generated by Gibson assembly and subcloned into pENTR2b-RIP12 (link). SA-KDEL-IRES and SBP PCR fragments were separately amplified from Str-KDEL_SBP-EGFP-GPI (gift from Franck Perez, Addgene plasmid #65,294; RRID:Addgene_65294)28 (link). sfGFP was PCR amplified from sfGFP-C1 (gift from Michael Davidson and Geoffrey Waldo, Addgene plasmid #54,579; RRID:Addgene_54579)65 (link). Proinsulin was PCR amplified as two fragments on either side of the ApaI site from human INS cDNA for insertion of the SBP and sfGFP fragments within the C-peptide coding sequence. RIP-SA-KDEL-IRES-proCpep-SBP-GFP was recombined from pENTR2b-RIP into a modified pAD-PL/DEST via Gateway cloning using LR Clonase II66 (link). Recombinant adenoviruses were generated in HEK293 cells and purified by cesium chloride gradient. All sequences were verified by the Iowa Institute of Human Genetics, University of Iowa.
