Cellosaurus MEF GFP-LC3-RFP-LC3deltaG (CVCL_UP52)

[Text version]
Cell line name MEF GFP-LC3-RFP-LC3deltaG
Synonyms GFP-LC3-RFP-LC3deltaG MEF
Accession CVCL_UP52
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: MEF GFP-LC3-RFP-LC3deltaG (RRID:CVCL_UP52)
Comments Characteristics: Stably expresses EGFP-LC3-mRFP-LC3delta, an autophagic flux probe. GFP-LC3 is fused to the N-terminus of RFP-LC3 whose C-terminal glycine is deleted. When expressed, the probe it is separated into EGFP-LC3 and mRFP-LC3deltaG by the action of endogenous ATG4 family proteases that cleave the peptide bond after the C-terminal glycine of LC3 in the cytosol producing equimolar amounts of EGFP-LC3 and mRFP-LC3deltaG.
