This toehold switch has been designed to open up its hairpin loop structure upon binding with miRNA-21, resulting in the translation of downstream reporter protein. The design of toehold switch can be separated into the following 5 regions from its 5' end: trigger binding sites, stem region, loop region with RBS, complimentary stem region with start codon, and linker amino acids. In our constructions of toehold switches for miRNA-21, we optimised the loop region with RBS and linker amino acids based on three articles: the original work on toehold switch (Green, A.A. et al., 2014), the adaptation of toehold switch to detect zika virus (Pardee, K. et al., 2016), and novel toehold switch design for detection of miRNA in mammalian cells (Wang, S. et al., 2019) . The loop structure from the article of Pardee, K. et al. has been truncated to 12 base pairs compared to the work from Green, A.A. et al. in order to reduce the leakage of output expression. We chose to test the 3 different loop structures and 2 different linker structures (Pardee, K. et al. and Wang, S. et al.) from the above-mentioned studies.

op21_B Toehold Switch for miR-21 Detection

Introduction

op21_B toehold switch is a regulatory part for the downstream reporter gene. With this part, the protein expression can be controlled by the miR-21. The sequence of the toehold switch can be separated into the following 5 regions from its 5' end: TBS (trigger binding site), stem region, loop region with RBS (ribosome binding site), complimentary stem region with a start codon, and linker. Upon binding with miR-21, its hairpin structure can be opened up and the ribosomes can bind with its RBS (ribosome binding site), triggering the translation of the downstream reporter.
