Part:BBa_K4683000
Lettuce Complement
This part is the complement sequence of the fluorescent DNA aptamer Lettuce BBa_K4245133, developed by the Weill-Cornell Medical College. Lettuce is a 99 nucleotide long DNA aptamer that induces fluorescence of a GFP fluorophore mimic (Z)-4-(3,5-difluoro-4-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-methyl-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-imidazol-5(4 H)-one (DFHBI-1T) (VarnBuhler et al., 2022). This sequence can be combined with Nb.BbvCI nicking enzyme cut sites BBa_M31961 and complementary arms to become a padlock probe for exponential Rolling Circle Amplification (eRCA) and as a reporter. Due to the eRCA process creating short sequences of DNA, with this part as the middle sequence, Lettuce aptamers can be produced and quantified (Li et al., 2017).
