Improved Killswitch (CMV-GMK_TK90) in RFC[10]

Since the Killswitchs of Slovenia 2012 BBa_K782063 and Freiburg 2007 BBa_K404113 both contain a forbidden PstI site we wanted to improve these parts, because safety mechanisms are of extremely high importance. This is why we created this RFC[10] compatible BioBrick, which is liberated of the PstI site and BBa K2170060 (pCMV-GMK_TK90_polyA),that contains an additional poly adenylation site for improved mRNA stability. These improved parts are characterized with respect to mRNA expression level and functionality in cell culture.

Quantitative analysis by mRNA measuring of Poly-A-sequence addition showed 4.6-fold higher mRNA stability in comparison to the non-Poly-A-construct. [http://2016.igem.org/Team:LMU-TUM_Munich/Safety More information]
