MREwt promoter

Usage and Biology

The MRE-sites containing promoter enables the metal-dependent expression of a downstream positioned reporter gene via the metal ion-dependent transcription factor MTF-1 (K5317007) for cell-based metal detection.

The varying Metal Responsive Elements (MREs) upstream of the eukaryotic metallothionein (MT) gene were discovered in the early 80s (Carter et al., 1984; Stuart et al., 1985). All MREs a-d carry core consensus sites (TGCRCNC) to which the primary MRE-binding transcription factor MTF-1 can bind after binding to heavy metal ions and translocating into the nucleus (Wang et al., 2004). Physiologically, this leads to the expression of metallothionein, a protein capable of binding metals such as zinc, cadmium, copper, and others for metal homeostasis and detoxification (Cousins, 1983). The arrangement of the MREs in our promoter construct was inspired by publications from Glanville et al. (1981) and Searle et al. (1985), maintaining the order of MREs from the physiological murine MT promoter.


Cloning

Theoretical Part Design
