pMX-puro-FLAG-GATA4(S105E)

pMX-puro-FLAG-GATA4(S105E)

Backbone pMXs-IRES-Puro
Insert FLAG-mGATA4(S105E)
Seq cDNA / amino acid
Site EcoRI/XhoI
Selection Amp/Puro

Note

S105 of GATA4 is phosphorylated by ERK1/2 (Liang, 2001) and is important for transcriptional activity (van Berlo, 2011). GATA4(S105E) is expected to mimic phosphorylated GATA4.

FLAG-GATA4(S105E) cDNA was obtained from TOPO-FLAG-GATA4(S105E) cut by EcoRI and XhoI.
