Plasmids from Article

ID Plasmid Purpose
173007DHFR-GFP-th-NL1For light regulated release of neuroligin 1 from the endoplasmic reticulum. Driven by synapsin promoter. Thrombin site is included between GFP and NL1.
173008DHFR-GFP-th-GluA1For light regulated release of GluA1 from the endoplasmic reticulum. Driven by synapsin promoter. Thrombin site is included between GFP and GluA1.
173009DHFR-mNeon-GluA1For light regulated release of GluA1 from the endoplasmic reticulum. Driven by synapsin promoter. Intracellular trafficking can be better visualized with mNeon.
1730102xFKBP-mCh-KDELFKBP anchor for retaining DHFR-fused cargoes in the ER in the presence of zapalog. Encodes ER retrieval motif (KDEL) at C-terminus of mCherry. Contains IRES following ORF for cloning cargo.
173012TfR-moxGFP-DHFRFor light regulated release of transferrin receptor (TfR) from the endoplasmic reticulum. Driven by CMV promoter. Fused to oxidation resistant version of GFP (moxGFP).
173013TfR-mCh-DHFRFor light regulated release of transferrin receptor (TfR) from the endoplasmic reticulum. Driven by CMV promoter.
1730212xFKBP-smFP(myc)-KDELFKBP anchor for retaining DHFR-fused cargoes in the ER in the presence of zapalog. Encodes ER retrieval motif (KDEL) at C-terminus of spaghetti monster FP (myc, non-fluorescent). IRES following ORF.
