The optimal secondary structure with a minimum free energy The secondary structures of IL7-AS; IL7-AS-S1 and IL7-AS-S2 were predicted by the RNAfold webserver (http://rna.tbi.univie.ac.at/cgi-bin/RNAfold.cgi). The structure is colored according to base-pairing probabilities. For unpaired regions, the color denotes the probability of being unpaired.

In order to investigate whether cell migration induced by IL7-AS-S2 depends on the amount of IL7-AS-S2 transfection. We transfected the different concentration of IL7-AS-S2 into 786-0 cells. But the results showed no significant difference.(Fig 8 and 9)

Design Notes

We wanted to investigate which domain is essential for the function of IL7-AS. We cloned the truncated sequences of IL7-AS (IL7-AS-S2) into pSB1C3 for submitting to IGEM 2018 and inserted IL7-AS-S2 into pCDNA3.1 to study the function.

We cloned the truncated sequences of IL7-AS (IL7-AS-S2,411 bp) from human cells.

1.1 Amplification of IL7-AS-S2 fragments from human cell line. First we amplified IL7-AS-S2 using primers. After that, we purified the PCR products by PCR Purification Kit and digested them with restriction enzymes EcoRI and PstI (Fig 1).

1.2 Digested PSB1C3 vector. We digested the PSB1C3 vectors with EcoRI and PstI (Fig 2).

1.3 Ligation of purified IL7-AS-S2 fragments to pSB1C3 vector.


IL7-AS-S2 fragments were ligated to PSB1C3 vector. Then we selected the positive clones by PCR and sequencing (Fig 3). Verify_pSB1C3-IL7-AS-S2_by_sequencing.jpeg


In silico prediction of lncRNA secondary structure is another useful method to assign putative functions to non-coding transcripts, based upon the widely held assumption that highly folded structures impart functionality through binding interactions with proteins/nucleotides. Characterization of IL7-AS-S2 using RNAfold minimum free energy estimations predicted a highly folded secondary structure with several hairpin loops.The secondary structure of IL7-AS-S2(Fig 4).
