Backbone

  • Vector backbone
    pCasperAUG-VP22-Gal4
  • Backbone manufacturer
    Leslie Vosshall
  • Backbone size w/o insert (bp) 10000
  • Total vector size (bp) 11888
  • Modifications to backbone
    This vector contains a fusion of the first ~30 amino acids of Drosophila melanogaster alcohol dehydrogenase gene, followed by the Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) protein VP22, encoded by the UL49 gene, followed by the S. cerevisiae (budding yeast) Gal4 gene. This translational fusion generates a single protein: AUG-Adh-VP22-Gal4

Depositor Comments

Or46a-VP22-Gal4 consists of the 1.888 Kb Drosophila melanogaster Or46a promoter subcloned into the EcoRI site of the pCaSpeR-AUG-VP22-Gal4 vector. This VP22-Gal4 is a fusion of the HSV-1 structural protein VP22 (Elliott and O’Hare, 1997; PMID: 9008163) to yeast Gal4. The activity of this fusion protein is indistinguishable from that of unmodified Gal4 and did not show the intercellular protein transfer properties of unmodified VP22 (Elliott and O’Hare, 1997; PMID: 9008163).
