Depositor Comments

For this E-cadherin–α-catenin fusion construct that lacks the β-catenin binding domain in both E-cadherin and α-catenin, cDNA encoding the membrane proximal region of the cadherin cytoplasmic domain was amplified between nucleotides 1760 and 2530 using
5′ (5′-TGAGCACGTGAAGAACAGCACGTACAC-3′) and
3′ (5′-CCCTGGCCATTTCCAATTTCATCGGGA-3′)
oligonucleotide primers, and the resultant 770-bp fragment was cloned into a Xenopus α-catenin cDNA such that amino acid 809 in E-cadherin was fused in frame with amino acid 201 in α-catenin (E-cad-DEIGN/GHRDQ-α-catenin). This fusion region was further subcloned into the E-cad/pcDNA3 plasmid (Addgene plasmid 45769) to make the E-cadherin–α-catenin cDNA.
