The IgK signal peptide is a short peptide sequence located in the precursor of the immunoglobulin &#954; chain. The main function of signal peptides is to direct the transport of newly synthesized proteins from the cytoplasm to the ER, where they are properly folded and processed.

Profile

Name: P_min5*NFAT_IL4
Base Pairs: 191bp
Origin: Homo sapiens
Properties: Transpose and respond to calcium ion signals


Usage and Biology

P_min is short for minimal promoter, which is the minimal version of the promoter sequence that contains elements necessary for transcription factor binding, but usually does not contain enhancers or other regulatory elements[1].
NFAT_IL4 is a component of interleukin-4 (IL-4) transcription promoter which is responsive to nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). And NFAT can response to calcium ions. In our project, we choose calcium pathway as one of the downstream pathways of melatonin receptor MT1. So NFAT_IL4 can characterize the binding of melatonin and MT1.


Special design

5*NFAT_IL4 is the 5-fold version of NFAT_IL4. Considering that the expression effect of a single responder is weak, we insert multiple tandem repeats of the same responder element to the upstream of P_min to enhance the activation of the signaling pathway. This part is the combination of NFAT_IL4 clone four times and P_min.


Function test

In order to test the function of calcium ion response element, P_min5*NFAT_IL4 is loaded onto a vector which is equipped with sleeping beauty transposon site and nano luciferase (Nluc) reporter gene downstream. Once the fluorescent signal of Nluc expression be detected, this marks the successful binding of calcium ions and P_min5*NFAT_IL4. (Figure 1) In Figure 1, we can find that the expression level of Nluc gene in cells supplemented with P_min5*NFAT_IL4 is significantly increased compared with the blank control, which proves that the calcium pathway responded successfully.
