Depositor Comments

This gene is for expression of soybean APEX in the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) of mammalian cells under the CMV promoter. The APEX gene has the LACTB IMS localization peptide fused to its N-terminus. Soybean APEX has three mutations (K14D, W41F, E112K) relative to wild-type soybean ascorbate peroxidase. Soybean APEX is 90% sequence identical to pea APEX and performs very similarly in cells, but we have some in vitro evidence that soybean APEX is more monomeric than pea APEX. Note that soybean APEX is less characterized, and pea APEX is the focus of Martell et. al. NBT 2012.
