A p2A sequence is ineffective in expressing either GFP or FoxP2. a Schematic of virus that utilizes a p2A. In theory, a single gene product should be translated which creates a GFP-p2A-FoxP2 fusion protein that is then self-cleaved into separate GFP and FoxP2 molecules that each carry residual p2A peptides on their C- and N-termini, respectively. bTop panels the GFP virus-injected hemisphere showed high levels of native GFP (green) which was further enhanced using an anti-GFP antibody (red). Lower panels in contrast no GFP, native or enhanced, was visible in the contralateral hemisphere injected with the GFP-p2A-FoxP2 virus. Blue signals reflect DAPI staining. c Exemplar song spectrograms of an adult male tutor (top) and his adult (>100 days) male son (bottom)
