“…To generate GFP-, mCherry-, FLAG-, GST-, His-, and HA-tagged proteins, protein cDNAs were cloned in frame with tags into pEGFP-C (Clontech), pmCherry-C1 (modified from pEGFP-C1), p3XFLAG-Myc-CMV-26 (Sigma-Aldrich), pGEX4t-1 (GE Healthcare), pET28a (Novagen, Billerica, MA), and CMV-HA (Clontech) vectors, respectively. GFP-, mCherry-, GAL4 AD-, and GAL4 BD-tagged WHRN FL constructs and GAL4 AD-and GAL4 BD-tagged WHRN PDZ1ϩ2 and WHRN-C constructs were reported previously (22,27). FLAG-tagged WHRN FL cDNA was subcloned using the GFPor mCherry-tagged constructs.…”
