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.
