Depositor Comments

The microtubule binding domain of ensconsin (EMTB) was fused to 3 GFP molecules in order to visualize microtubules. For cloning details see Faire et al., 1999 Journal
of Cell Science 112, 4243-4255.

Note: It is difficult to sequence entirely through 3 tandem GFPs. Users are encouraged to perform a double-digest on this plasmid with EcoRI and XhoI to verify the presence of a ~3kb band corresponding to the EMTB insert + 3GFPs. Please see above attachment.
