Introduction

This year we further improved the ribozyme-assisted polycistronic co-expression system (pRAP). It is indicated that the major problem of polycistronic vectors, which contain two or more target genes under one promoter, is the much lower expression of the downstream genes compared with that of the first gene next to the promoter[1] Compared with multiple promoter system, in pRAP, self-interaction of the polycistron can be avoid and each cistron can initiate translation with comparable efficiency. In pRAP system (Figure 2), the RNA sequences of hammerhead ribozyme conduct self-cleaving, and the polycistronic mRNA transcript is thus co-transcriptionally converted into individual mono-cistrons in vivo[2] . This compoiste part is a stem-loop-deleted version of BBa_K4765120, which includes stayGold and mScarlet. Its red-green fluorescence intensity ratio can be compared with BBa_K4765120 to assess the stem-loop's ability to prevent mRNA degradation.

Usage and Biology

We use this composite part to test the following stem-loops'[2] ability to prevent mRNA degradation.

Figure 1. Sequencing result of nsl (no stem-loop before Twister ribozyme cleavage site).
Sanger sequencing verified that we have removed the stem-loop before ribozyme sequence, from BBa_K4765120. We also construct plasmids with stem-loop new2, new6, new10, bad2, bad6, bad10, all of which were designed by our Software RAP, and fully characterized using functional assays.
