Design Notes
When stem loops inserted in the 3’ end of the upstream gene, it protects its mRNA against the cleavage of exonuclease, increasing the ratio of abundance of the first gene product relative to that of the second gene product. Furthermore, the lower free energy of stem loops are, the more stable the secondary transcripts of the upstream are, tuning the expression of multiple genes. We designed a series of stem loops with different free energy and measured it by fluorescence reporter system.
Source
Inspired by Xu’s work and based on keasling’s work, we designed a series of stem loops with different free energy for further use as basic regulatory parts.
