psiRNA-DUO - Expression of Two shRNAs<br />

Description<br />

psiRNA-DUO generates two shRNAs from the same plasmid for the<br />

silenc<strong>in</strong>g of either a s<strong>in</strong>gle target gene (with/without polymorphisms) or<br />

two different target genes. psiRNA-DUO conta<strong>in</strong>s special features<br />

designed to make the clon<strong>in</strong>g of the shRNA <strong>in</strong>serts and selection of<br />

recomb<strong>in</strong>ant clones simple and rapid.<br />

The major features of the psiRNA-DUO plasmid are its two RNA Pol III<br />

cassettes and the GFP-Zeo fusion gene.<br />

7SK RNAi Cassettes<br />

The first cassette conta<strong>in</strong>s the follow<strong>in</strong>g elements:<br />

- Human 7SK promoter (see page 144)<br />

- Acc65 I / H<strong>in</strong>d III clon<strong>in</strong>g sites<br />

- LacZ a-peptide expression cassette for white and blue selection<br />

The second cassette conta<strong>in</strong>s the follow<strong>in</strong>g elements:<br />

- Human 7SK promoter<br />

- Bbs I / Bbs I clon<strong>in</strong>g sites<br />

- GUS expression cassette for white and blue selection<br />

b-Glucuronidase (GUS, uidA) is an E. coli enzyme capable of hydrolyz<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the chromogenic substrate X-Gluc to generate a blue pigment. Therefore,<br />

similarly to LacZ, the expression of GUS <strong>in</strong> permissive E. coli allows the<br />

discrim<strong>in</strong>ation between blue parental clones and white recomb<strong>in</strong>ant<br />

clones.<br />

psiRNA-DUO is provided with the E. coli GT115, a lacZ uidA mutant<br />

stra<strong>in</strong>, enabl<strong>in</strong>g the white and blue color selection from the LacZ and<br />

GUS systems.<br />

GFP-Zeo Fusion Gene<br />

The GFP-Zeo gene is a transcriptional fusion between the Green<br />

Fluorescent Prote<strong>in</strong> reporter gene and the Zeoc<strong>in</strong> resistance (Zeo R )<br />

gene. The two moieties are separated by a bacterial promoter (EC2K)<br />

located with<strong>in</strong> an <strong>in</strong>tron. In E. coli, Zeo R is expressed from the EC2K<br />

promoter that is spliced out <strong>in</strong> mammalian cells. A composite CMV<br />

promoter drives the expression of the GFP-Zeo fusion gene, allow<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

monitor<strong>in</strong>g of transfection efficiency and the selection of stable clones.<br />

Procedures<br />

Two Clon<strong>in</strong>g Step Procedure<br />

1- Clone first shRNA <strong>in</strong>sert <strong>in</strong> first 7SK RNAi cassette<br />

opened with Acc65 I and H<strong>in</strong>d III.<br />

2- Select white recomb<strong>in</strong>ant clones on X-Gal plates prepared<br />

with Fast-Media ® Zeo X-Gal.<br />

3- Clone second shRNA <strong>in</strong>sert <strong>in</strong> second 7SK RNAi cassette<br />

opened with Bbs I.<br />

4- Select white recomb<strong>in</strong>ant clones on X-Gluc plates prepared<br />

with Fast-Media ® Zeo X-Gluc.<br />

One Clon<strong>in</strong>g Step Procedure<br />

1- Digest psiRNA-DUO with Acc65 I, H<strong>in</strong>d III and Bbs I.<br />

2- Ligate both shRNA <strong>in</strong>serts with the two psiRNA-DUO<br />

fragments (H<strong>in</strong>d III/Bbs I and Bbs I/Acc65 I).<br />

3- Select sequentially white recomb<strong>in</strong>ant clones on X-Gal<br />

plates and X-Gluc plates.<br />
