ِِAlphavirus Subgenomic Promoter 30

Part Description

Alpha-virus replicon Subgenomic constitutive promoter. And a subgenomic promoter is a promoter added to a virus for a specific heterologous gene resulting in the formation of mRNA for that gene alone.

Usage

SG RNA is transcribed from the SG promoter and serves as template for translation of viral structure protein e.g.:capsid,E2 and E1 which gives alpha virus attractive systems for designing self replicating vectors for delivery and expression of heterogeneous genetic information. It’s also used for amplification and replication by the VEEV replication complex SG RNA is transcribed from a promoter located in the alpha virus specific RNA replication intermediate and is not further amplified. SG promoter transcribes RNA encoding proteins of interest and encodes the same (3 CSE ) and poly A tail as the viral genome but contains a different (5 UTR) and lacks the (51-nt CSE). We used it as a control to demonstrates a standard level of RNA synthesis and heterogeneous protein expression.
