12x[TALD] operator

• TALD label represents TAL effector 1295 from zebrafish experiments (Sander et al., 2011).

Introduction

TAL effectors (TALEs) are able to specifically bind to the DNA by recognizing base pairs on a DNA molecule. With TAL regulators we are able to control expression of a desired gene. Efficient transcription control can be achieved by binding of multiple TAL regulators upstream of promoter.

Our construct contain twelve specific binding sites for TALD (Figure 1).

Single binding sequence for TALD is: TCGTCCAATAGCTTCTC

Figure 1. Shematic representation of the construct.

• Binding sites for TAL effectors were ordered from IDT.

Characterization

Construct was later used for constructing different reporter plasmids to show specific binding of TALD:KRAB/TALD:VP16.

Results:

• BBa_K782031
• BBa_K782022
