FASTmiR-146a-D2_p

FASTmiR stands for Fluorescence Aptamer Sensor For Tracking miRNAs. It is an RNA-based sensor for in-vitro quantification of miRNAs. This part is an expression cassette for BBa_K4438106, with BBa_J64997 upstream. FASTmiR-146a-D2_p, after transcription, binds to miR-146a, the transcription product of BBa_K4438151. The binding of these to RNAs will lead to the revelation of a binding site for DFHBI, a fluorophore, where it gets trapped and shows fluorescence.

Usage and Biology

This part can be used for the detection of miR-146a, which proves to be a biomarker for many diseases. The promoter sequence, in the beginning, enhances its usage in both in-vivo and in-vitro conditions. The OFF(A) and ON(B) structure for the sensor was generated as given: T--IISER-Tirupati India--miRNA 146 2.png
