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 />
