Design Notes

To measure the alteration of RNA splicing, we engineered one dual luciferase reporter system where two luciferase genes were fused with GTGAGT-recessive exon MAP3K7-CCACAG minigenes . Upon transfection of the dual luciferase reporters into mammalian cells, the pre-mRNA of this dual reporter would be processed in either of two ways. During normal splicing in cells, the internal stop codon would be removed, then the upstream reporter gene (Firefly luciferase, Fluc) and the downstream reporter gene (Renilla luciferase, Rluc) will be placed in the same reading frame to generate a fusion protein Fluc-Rluc. In the case that splicing in inhibited by splicing inhibitors, the stop codon in the recessive exon would lead to the translation termination of the mRNA, thus producing the Fluc protein alone. Therefore, the Fluc gene is expressed regardless of whether splicing occurred, whereas the downstream Rluc gene can only be expressed after splicing.
