Depositor Comments

pCMV human IRS-1 was cut with ApaLI and SalI. A 5' IRS-1 oligo at bp4746 (amino acid 1242) and 3'IRS-1 oligo with 3' IRS-1 sequence fused to the p21ras CAAX prenylation motif (CMSCKCVLS) were used for PCR and the insert was ligated into pCMV human IRS-1. Select cells expressing plasmid with approximately 5mM histidinol (Sigma), depending on the cell type.
