#118 Xla.Tg(CMV:H3K9ac-Mintbody-eGFP)Ueno
Transgene description: The cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter drives expression of an epigenetic sensor, H3K9ac-Mintbody, cloned into pEGFP-N2 (Clontech). The accession number of the 13C7 single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody recognizing histone H3 lysine 9 acetylation (H3K9ac) is AB793787 (DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank).
#117 CAGGs-ERCreER Xla.Tg(CAG:TFPnls,ERT2-Cre-ERT2;CAG:mCherry)ETNKA
Transgene description: Two plasmids were co-injected in the REMI transgenesis protocol. 1) The Cre-plasmid contained a CAG promoter upstream to the DNA sequences of a nucleus TFP (TFPnls) and a ERT2-Cre-ERT2 (ERCreER) fusion proteins. A self-cleaving 2A peptide (T2A) sequence was placed between the TFPnls and the ERCreER sequences. 2) The reporter plasmid contained a CAG promoter directly upstream to a loxP-floxed cassette. The first position of the cassette is a stop codon series (TAATTAATTAA) with a triple SV40 polyA sequence. The second position is a mCherry with a rabbit beta-globin polyA sequence
#116 Xla.Tg(CAG:eGFP)ETNKA
Transgene description: The plasmid contains a CAG promoter upstream to the DNA sequence of eGFP.
#115 Xla.Tg(CAG:mCherry)ETNKA
Transgene description: The plasmid contains a CAG promoter directly upstream to the DNA sequence of mCherry
#114 Xla.Tg(cryg.1:mCherry;Mmu.Prrx1:TFPnls,Cre-ERT2)ETNKA
Transgene description: A plasmid containing a mouse Prrx1 (Mmu.Prrx1) promoter directly upstream to the DNA sequences of a nucleus TFP (TFPnls) and a Cre-ERT2 (CreER) fusion proteins. A self-cleaving 2A peptide sequence was placed between the TFPnls and the CreER sequences. The TFPnls-T2A-Cre-ERT2 sequence was codon-optimized according to the codon usage preference of X. laevis. A secondary cassette containing a mCherry sequence driven by the X. laevis gamma-crystallin 1 (cryg1) promoter was cloned upstream to the Mmu.Prrx1:TFPnls,CreER cassette in an opposite direction.
#113 Xla.prrx1tm(prrx1s:prrx1s*-T2A-mCherry)ETNKA
Transgene description: The plasmid contained a X. laevis prrx1.S cDNA fusing with a T2A-mCherry-b-globin poly A signal cassette directly downstream. The plasmid was injected into fertilized X. laevis embryos together with the Cas9 proteins and a gRNA (5’-CCAGTCTGGACAATTTAC-3’) targeted the 5’ end of the prrx1 cDNA sequence. The result was an integration of the prrx1.ScDNA-T2A-mCherry 75 nucleotides (nts) downstream of the start codon followed by a 12-nt in-frame deletion.
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knock-in
#112 Xla.Tg(CAG:mTFP1-nls)ETNKA
Transgene description: The plasmid contains a CAG promoter directly upstream to the DNA sequence of mTFP1 (Ai and Campbell 2008) fused with a nucleus localisation signal (nls) sequence at the 3’ end.
#111 Xla.Tg(CAG:eGFP,mCherry)ETNKA
Transgene description: The plasmid contains a CAG promoter directly upstream to a loxP-floxed DNA cassette. The first position of the cassette is an eGFP sequence with a triple SV40 polyA sequence. The second position is a mCherry sequence with a rabbit beta-globin polyA sequence.
