These plasmids were used in Phoebe Lu’s paper: Lu PD,
Harding HP and Ron D. 2004. Translation re-initiation at alternative open
reading frames regulates gene expression in an integrated stress response. J
Cell Biol. 167:27-33.
Important Note: These pEGFP-based
plasmids have NEOr marker
(and not the conventional AMPr marker). They should be propagated in
the presence of 30mcg/ml kanamycin (and not on ampicillin).
