Depositor Comments

Transfection of this plasmid will express "VBad-4E" (Venus fused to the N-terminus of the BH3-only protein, Bad-4E) in live cells. There is a flexible, 7 amino acid linker between Venus and Bad-4E proteins. Full length Bad protein with BH3 region hydrophobic positions H1-H4 mutated to glutamic acid (E), refered to as "BH3-4E" mutation, BH3 mutations: Y110E, L114E, M117E, F122E. 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.
