Depositor Comments

There is an 18bp deletion in Addgene's sequencing results relative to the full plasmid sequence (at position 2174-2192bp). This region is immediately after the LSS-mKate2 gene and is not critical for plasmid performance.

There is also a single nucleotide mismatch that results in an F22S change in the linker between the NLS and LSS-mKate2. It should not have any effect on the fusion performance.

Two other mismatches do not alter amino acid sequence.
