Part:BBa_K1923002
Scaffold msr-Scaffold msd-Reverse transcriptase encoding gene
The msr-msd sequence in the part is flanked by two inverted repeats. Once transcribed, the msr-msd RNA folds into a secondary structure guided by the base pairing of the inverted repeats and the msr-msd sequence. The RT enzyme recognizes this secondary structure and uses a conserved guanosine residue in the msr as a priming site to reverse transcripe the msd sequence and produce a hybrid RNA-ssDNA molecule called msDNA. The two BsaI sites enable researchers to design ssDNA sequence produced by this cassette, thus providing a programmable in-vivo ssDNA expression system [1].
