Depositor Comments

Transfection of this plasmid will express "VPuma" (Venus fused to the N-terminus of the BH3-only protein, Puma) in live cells. When compared with EYFP, Venus fluorophore contains the following mutations: F46L, F64L, M153T, V163A and S175G. This Venus protein contains an F224R mutation to make it monomeric. In cloning, the last amino acid of Venus protein was deleted (K239S). Result is a 1 amino acid linker between Venus and Puma proteins. The encoded BBC3 isoform 4 is also known as PUMA-alpha.
