Components
Here is the provenance of the components that we have used. For details of cloning, see the individual clone pages or the full methods paper.
Gateway components
The entry clones and destination vectors are all based on (three-insert) multisite Gateway technology from Invitrogen, specifically pDONR P4-P1R, pDONR221 (attP1-attP2), pDONR P2R-P3, and pDest R4-R3. Our understanding from Invitrogen is that they do not usually require any MTAs for clones generated by individual labs using their vectors. (You still need to buy recombination enzyme from them though!)
Sequence information all comes from the Invitrogen website. In some cases we have noticed point mutations in our constructs relative to their sequence. The most notable example is a point mutation in the ccdB coding sequence within the destination vector. In at least a couple of cases, we have seen a mutation in clones from different labs, leading us to believe that it derived from the original Invitrogen clone.
fluorescent proteins (FPs)
EGFP
EGFP is the enhanced green fluorescent protein (1).
mCherry
mCherry is the monomeric red fluorescent protein (2, 3).
