pEGFP-Actin encodes a fusion protein consisting of the red-shifted, human codon-optimized variant of green fluorescent protein (EGFP; 1–3) and the gene encoding human cytoplasmic b-actin (4). EGFP, a derivative of the GFPmut1 variant (5), has been optimized for brighter fluorescence and higher expression in mammalian cells. (Excitation maximum = 488 nm; emission maximum = 507 nm.) This variant contains the double-amino-acid substitution of Phe-64 to Leu and Ser-65 to Thr, and also contains more than 190 silent base changes which correspond to human codon-usage preferences (6). SV40 polyadenylation signals downstream of the EGFP-Actin fusion direct proper processing of the 3 end of the EGFP mRNA. The vector backbone also contains an SV40 origin for replication in any mammalian cell line that expresses the SV40 T-antigen. A neomycin resistance cassette (Neor), consisting of the SV40 early promoter, the neomycin/kanamycin resistance gene of Tn5, and polyadenylation signals from the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) gene, allows stably transfected eukaryotic cells to be selected using G418. A bacterial promoter upstream of this cassette drives expression of the gene encoding kanamycin resistance in E. coli. The pEGFPActin backbone also provides a pUC origin of replication for propagation in E. coli and an f1 origin for single-stranded DNA production.The pEGFP-Actin Vector expresses the EGFP-Actin fusion protein in mammalian cells. The protein is incorporated into growing actin filaments and allows for visualization of actin-containing subcellular structures in living and fixed cells. (7, 8). pEGFP-Actin can be transfected into mammalian cells using any standard transfection method. If required, stable transformants can be selected using G418 (9).
