I first started using VP64 when I was a postdoc in Pam Silver's lab at Harvard Medical School (2008 - 2011). VP64 was a part of the lab collection.

Note: Earliest reported test of a "modular" VP16 "core" activator, DALDDFDLDML, amino acids 437-447; activity was compared to activation domains from other transcription factors

Note: Earliest report of the construction and use of the VP16 fusion "VP64" ([DALDDFDLDML]-GS-[DALDDFDLDML]-GS-[DALDDFDLDML]-GS-[DALDDFDLDML]) which is four copies of VP16 with glycine-serine linkers.

Since 1998, VP64 had been used again by the authors (Beerli and colleagues) in several publications, and gained popularity as it was used by many other groups to make custom synthetic transcription factors.
