T7 promoter

profile

Name: T7 promoter

Base Pairs: 19bp

Origin: T7 phage, genome

Properties: A promoter for initiation of the transcription.

Usage and Biology

The promoter can react specifically to T7 RNA polymerase and is a sequence that starts gene transcription of T7 phage. It is recognized for binding and initiation of the transcription. Placed before a gene, it promotes its transcription.

Experimental approach

Production, purification, and SDS-PAGE analysis of recombinant PPM1A

Figure 1. SDS-PAGE assay..

Next, we screened the PPM1A activator in Lab in-house compound library by phosphatase enzyme activity assay. The effect of compounds 5 (0.01, 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, 100 μM) on the PPM1A was detected by phosphatase activity assay with pNPP as the substrate. All data were presented as mean ± S.E.M (*P<0.05, **P< 0.01, ***P< 0.001).

As indicated in Figure 6, among the compounds, Compound 5 was finally selected for its highest enzymatic activity against PPM1A. Besides, it could also tell that compound 5 dose-dependently enhanced PPM1A enzyme activity. These results thus implied that compound 5 was a PPM1A enzymatic activator.
