Depositor Comments

Dendra::MEX-5 constructs were constructed as follows. A 4.4 kb mex-5 promoter fragment based on Tenlen et al. (2008) was cloned into pDONRP4P1R (Invitrogen). Dendra2/TEV/S-peptide (Gallo et al., 2010) was cloned into pDONR201. A MEX-5 genomic fragment from the start ATG through 648 bp of 3'UTR was cloned into pDONRP2RP3. Exon 2 of mex-5 was recoded to be RNAi-resistant (Gen-Script) so as to allow depletion of endogenous MEX-5/6 without depletion of the transgene. These constructs were assembled into pCG150 using three-way Gateway system (LR reaction) (Invitrogen) (Merritt et al., 2008). Mutations were made by recombinant PCR and all inserts were sequenced verified.

Alternate plasmid name: mex-5 prom::Dendra2/TEV/Speptide::MEX-5RR(S404A) - mex-5 3'UTR
