4xMREd-EGFP

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 for cell-based metal detection.

In order to develop a cell-based heavy metal sensor, our research group generated a series of synthetic MTF1-responsive promoter constructs and evaluated their efficacy. Since Wang and colleagues (2004) suggested a high affinity of MTF-1 towards MREd we synthesized a promoter sequence containing four MREd elements at the positioning of the MREs of the MREwt promoter (K5317003) to exclude possible disruption of the MTF-1 and MRE interaction.

Cloning

Theoretical Part Design

Placing the 4xMREd-containing promoter upstream of the reporter gene EGFP allows the visualization of primarily metal-dependent activation of MTF-1.

Cloning

The cassette composed of 4xMREd-EGFP was assembled by amplifying the 4xMREd (K5317005) promoter using the primers in table 1 and assembling the promoter in the AseI- and NheI-digested EGFP-C2 backbone (K3338020) using the NEB Hifi Assembly Kit.

The vector map of the assembled construct is shown in figure 1.
