Plasmid

Part:BBa_K4606012

Designed by: Litong, Wu and Baochao Li   Group: iGEM23_Nanjing-NFLS   (2023-09-14)


Vector- Luciferase-SMAD4(MUT)-AmpR

Description

For detailed design information, you can look up the registry of BBa_K4606007, BBa_K4606002 and BBa_K4606004.

In this part, we integrated the fragment sequence of the SMAD4(MUT) gene in front of the luciferase gene and loaded them together into the plasmid vector.

Figure 1. Expression map of the composite plasmids of SMAD4-MUT.

This segment of SMAD4(MUT) will then be transcribed and expressed together with the luciferase gene in cells. If SMAD4(MUT) gene is inhibited by miRNA, its downstream luciferase will not be expressed normally. Therefore, we could analyze whether SMAD4(MUT) gene was inhibited by examining the luciferase activity.

Due to the addition of the AmpR gene to the plasmid, we could easily confirm whether the recombination was successful or not, as only the recombinants can grow into colonies on the medium supplemented with Ampicillin.
