pTRE-Tight L4R1 MammoBlock

Modified TRE promoter with six tetO sites to provide low basal transcriptional activity, a significant improvement over the previously used simple TRE promoter. Upon induction with rtTA or rtTA variants, and the addition of doxycycline (DOX), the transcriptional activity of TREt drastically increases.

Comparison of TREt and EGSH Promoter Constructs

In Figure 1, the inducibility of TREt and another inducible promoter, EGSH (Link:[1]), are compared. HEK293 FT cells were infected with reporter constructs for each system. The EGSH system is inducible with ponasterone, and expresses EGFP when induced. The TREt system controls expression of EYFP. Addition of DOX leads to activation of rtTA3, which then induces TREt_EYFP. Controls without inducing chemical factors are shown for both systems. For the EGSH system, (A) indicates the absence and (B) indicates the presence of ponesterone. For the TREt system, (C) indicate the absence and (D) indicates the presence of DOX. Scale bars (red) are 100 μm.

Results Negative control experienced very low level of basal transcription, or "leaky" expression. DOX addition led to dramatic increase in transcriptional activity. This makes the TREt system ideal for inducible, high level expression of proteins, especially lethal or harmful proteins that must be tightly regulated. The TREt system is also widely used in synthetic systems for its rigorous positive feedback loop. tret_vs_egsh.jpg
