12x[TALD] operator_CMV promoter_mCitrine

TALD label represents TAL effector 1295 from zebrafish experiments (Sander et al., 2011).
DNA binding sites for individual TAL effectors are indicated with square brackets [ ].

Introduction

Transcription activation like (TAL) effectors are proteins able to specifically bind desired DNA sequence. The central domain of the protein is constructed from variable number of tandem repeats differing only in two amino acids. The 12th and the 13th amino acid are called a “repeat variable diresidue” (RVD) and are responsible for specific interactions with the corresponding base pair (Scholze and Boch, 2011). This modularity of TAL effector binding domains therefore makes them a perfect tool to target specific DNA sequences.

Our construct contains 12 specific binding sites for TALD upstream of CMV promoter. Downstream of CMV promoter we cloned yellow fluorescent protein mCitrine an easy detectable monomer with excitation maximum at 516 nm and emission maximum at 529 nm (Figure 1). After binding of TALD:KRAB on binding sites, a repression of reporter protein mCitrine occurs.

Single binding sequence for TALD is: TCGTCCAATAGCTTCTC

Characterization

Results: 12x[TALD] binding sites were further characterized with other reporter constructs.

mCitrine was provided from host lab.
Binding sites for TAL effectors were ordered from GeneArt.

 ==Introduction==
-Transcription activation like (TAL) effectors are bacterial plant pathogen transcription factors that bind to DNA by recognizing a specific DNA sequence in which each base pair binds a single tandem repeat in in the TAL DNA-binding domain. A tandem TAL repeat contains 33 to 35 amino acids, where the 12th and the 13th amino acid, called a “repeat variable diresidue” (RVD)  are responsible for specific interactions with the corresponding base pair (Scholze and Boch, 2011).  All TAL repeats have almost identical sequences, differing only in the RVDs. This modularity of TAL effector binding domains therefore makes them a perfect tool to target specific DNA sequences by designing specific binding domains for a selected TAL effector. We designed twelve specific binding sites for TALD:KRAB upstream of CMV promoter (Figure 1). After binding of TALD:KRAB on binding sites, a repression of reporter protein mCitrine occurs. mCitrine is yellow fluorescent protein.
