let-7f

Let7f is one of the founding members of the let7 family.

Usage and Biology

Let7 is one of the founding members of the miRNA family. It was first found in C.elegans. There are several human let7 have the same base sequence with C.elegans let7, LET7A1 is one in this group. The expression of LET7 is barely detectable in embryonic stages, but it increases after differentiation and in mature tissues.1

HRAS, KRAS, and NRAS, these three human RAS genes have several let-7 complementary sites in their Untranslated Regions. It allows let-7 miRNA to control their function. The level of let7 in lung tumor’s cell is much lower than in normal cell. The expression of the RAS proteins was significantly higher in lung tumors, it suggests a possible mechanism for let-7 in cancer.2

Zwiers identified a putative binding site for both LET7E and LET7F in the 3-prime UTR of IL23R that was abolished by a SNP associated with inflammatory bowel disease.3

Enzyme digestion test

'Methods

After the assembly ,the plasmid was transferred into the Competent E. coli DH5α). After culturing overnight in LB,we minipreped the plasmid for cutting. The preparation of the plasmid was performed with TIANprep Mini Plasmid Kit from TIANGEN. The cutting procedure was performed with EcoRI and SpeI restriction endonuclease bought from TAKARA.

The plasmid was cutted in a 20μL system at 37 ℃ for 2 hours. The Electrophoresis was performed on a 1% Agarose glu.

The result of the agarose electrophoresis was shown on the picture above.

Functional Test

In vitro transcription experiment of let-7f was performed.The Electrophoresis was performed on a 2% Agarose glu.

The result of the agarose electrophoresis was shown on the picture below.
