ID Plasmid Purpose
257515PB-EF1a-ERK-phosphoGal4v4a-IRES-mCherryAn ERK-responsible Gal4-VP64 transcription factor. Created by allosteric insertion of a kinase-controlled protein switch
257516PB-EF1a-ERK-phosphoGal4v4a(TA)-IRES-mCherryA control ERK-responsible Gal4-VP64 transcription factor with phospho-site mutation. A T-to-A mutation is introduced in the ERK substrate motif in the phospho-switch
257517pHR-SFFV-ERK-phosphoActinNanobodyv3-tagRFPAn ERK-responsible F-actin nanobody. Created by allosteric insertion of a kinase-controlled protein switch
257518CMV-mCherry-ERK-phosphoVav2An ERK-responsible Vav2. Created by allosteric insertion of a kinase-controlled protein switch
257520PB-EF1a-JNK-phosphoGal4v3-IRES-mCherryA JNK-responsible Gal4-VP64 transcription factor. Created by allosteric insertion of a kinase-controlled protein switch
