Construction_summaryHuman cDNA encoding full-length C-terminally FLAG-tagged human LRRK2 WT was previously constructed in pCEP4 vector as described (Guo et al., 2007). The Pdat-1 promoter sequence was PCR amplified from the upstream 719-bp region containing the initiation codon ATG using the corresponding Promoterome clone (Geneservice, UK) as the template. The plasmid pFXneEGFP used previously as a C. elegans expression vector (Kuwahara et al., 2006) was modified by switching the original BamHI site to the region 17-bp downstream of the NotI site. The PCR product of Pdat-1 was subsequently inserted into KpnI and HindIII sites immediately upstream of the enhanced green fluorescent protein (GFP) of the modified pFXneEGFP to create Pdat-1::GFP (serving as a fluorescent reporter for DA neurons). The FLAG-tagged human LRRK2 cDNA was excised from NotI and BamHI sites of pCEP4 and subcloned into the same sites in the Pdat-1-containing pFXneEGFP, generating Pdat-1::LRRK2.
