TetO-EF1α promoter-Bxb1

The TetO sequence, SV40 NLS, flag tag, EF1α promoter, and Bxb1 recombinase are ligated in sequence, and participate in intracellular signal processing.According to the feedback of the digital model, the different strength promoters upstream of the recombinase and the recombination efficiency of the recombinase will affect the stability of the system. Therefore, in order to optimize our system, we used three promoters and three recombinases, hoping to find the optimal solution.

Sequence and Features

Usage and Biology

This composite part can transduce the input signal of the upstream TEV protease into the expression of Bxb1, which can turn on the expression of RFP. Here, we characterized the combination of the EF1α promoter and Bxb1.

Characterization

Fig. 1 Fluorescence microscope observation of HEK 293T only transfect with plasmids containing promoters with tetO sequence.

Fig. 1 shows that the strength of the three promoters in HEK 293T cells is from strong to weak: Ubc > EF1 α > miniCMV.

Fig. 2 Fluorescence microscope observation of HEK 293T after transfecting with different plasmid combination.

Fig. 2 shows that the flipping effect of EF1α-Bxb1 is better than that of miniCMV-Bxb1, which is consistent with the strength of their promoter indicated by Fig. 1.
