pENTR pPRE3

The entry vector contains the PREx3 promoter, consisting of 3 progesterone responsive elements of the sequence 5'-G/A G G/T AC A/G TGGTGTTCT-3' upstream of a minimal CMV promoter. The PREs are interspaced according to the spacing on the TRE promoter.

When progesterone diffuses through the cell membrane of an endometrial cell, it binds to the ligand binding domain on PgR-beta (Progesterone Receptor beta) and exposes its DNA binding domain. The DBD can then bind to the PREs on the promoter, recruiting transcriptional machinery and activating transcription.
