ID Plasmid Purpose
253321pN1_FKBP-HsKIF1C(349-1103)-mChmammalian expression of the stalk+tail domains (aa 349-1103) of HsKIF1C tagged with FKBP and mCherry. The FKBP tag enables rapamycin-induced attachment to FRB-tagged proteins.
253322pN1_FKBP-HsKIF1C(886-1103)-mChmammalian expression of the IDR domain (aa 886-1103) of HsKIF1C tagged with FKBP and mCherry. The FKBP tag enables rapamycin-induced attachment to FRB-tagged proteins.
253323pN1_FKBP-mCh-FTH1mammalian expression of human FTH1 tagged with FKBP and mCherry. FTH1 self-assembles into a 24-merparticle. FKBP enables rapamycin-induced attachment to FRB-tagged proteins.
253324pN1_HsKIF1C-mNGmammalian expression of full-length human KIF1C (aa 1-1103) tagged with mNG.
253325pN1_HsKIF1C(1-376)-NC-LZ-mNGmammalian expression of the motor domain (aa 1-376) of human KIF1C tagged with mNG. The NC and LZ sequences facilitate stable dimerization of the motor domains.
253326pN1_HsKIF1C(1-376)-NC-LZ-TagBFP-FRBmammalian expression of the motor domain of human KIF1C tagged with TagBFP and FRB. NC and LZ facilitate stable dimerization. FRB enables rapamycin-induced attachment to FKBP-tagged proteins.
253327pN1_HsKIF1C(349-1103)-mNGmammalian expression of the stalk+tail domains of human KIF1C (aa 349-1103) tagged with mNG.
253328pN1_HsKIF1C(886-1103)-mNGmammalian expression of the IDR domain of human KIF1C (aa 886-1103) tagged with mNG.
