Middle sequence

This part is the middle sequence used within Lambert iGEM’s padlock probes for Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA). The middle sequence was designed by researchers at Key Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry for Life Science of Shaanxi Province at Shaanxi Normal University and used within their padlock probe design (Zhou et al., 2015). The complement of this sequence within the Rolling Circle Product (RCP) served as the target for the linear probes 6-carboxyl-fluorescein (FAM) Labeled DNA Probe (BBa_K4245130) and Black Hole Quencher 1 (BHQ1) DNA Probe (BBa_K4245132), such that each half of the middle sequence complement in RCP was complementary to each linear probe where the binding of the linear probes to the RCP middle sequence would bring the fluorophore and the quencher in close proximity, allowing the fluorescence to be quenched by the quencher (Zhou et al., 2015).

Lambert iGEM also used the split Lettuce DNA fluorescent aptamer developed by the Jaffrey Lab at the Weill-Cornell Medical College— Lettuce left (BBa_K4245134) and Lettuce right (BBa_K4245135)— so that the attachment of each component to each corresponding half of the middle sequence complement within the RCP would bring the split Lettuce together, thus allowing it to induce fluorescence of a GFP fluorophore mimic (Z)-4-(3,5-difluoro-4-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-methyl-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-imidazol-5(4 H)-one (DFHBI-1T) (VarnBuhler et al., 2022).
