Description
This part encodes a transactivator protein that binds to the Gal4 galactose upstream activation sequence. The part is a fusion between the Gal4 DNA-binding domain and the viral VP16 transactivation domain. Gal4-VP16 has been proven to be a particularly powerful transactivator in mammalian cells, and is well suited to situations where levels of high transcriptional activation are necessary.
Notes
Not applicable.
Source
This part is a fusion between the DNA-binding domain of the Gal4 transactivator from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the viral VP16 transactivation domain from the herpes simplex virus.
