TRE-3G promoter+SV40 PolyA, an ideal controller of mammalian gene expression with Tet-On 3G protein

TRE-3G promoter(PTRE3G) is a kind of eukaryocyte cell promoters that will be switched on after combine with the compound of Tet-On 3G(BBa_K1431101) protein and doxycycline(Dox) mix.

The inducible promoter TRE3G provides for very low basal expression and high maximal expression after induction (Loew et. al., 2010). It consists of 7 repeats of a 19 bp tet operator sequence located upstream of a minimal CMV promoter. In the presence of Dox, Tet-On 3G binds specifically to PTRE3G and activates transcription of the downstream gene of interest (GOI). PTRE3G lacks binding sites for endogenous mammalian transcription factors, so it is virtually silent in the absence of induction.(Source: Clontech)

Figure 1.The Tet-On 3G systems allow inducible gene expression only in the presence of doxycycline. When Dox binds, the
transactivator undergoes a conformational change allowing it to bind tet operator (tetO) repeats within the
TREG Promoter. The transactivator activates expression through transcription activation domain repeats.

Data

The plasmid transfected into Hela Cell shows below.

Transfect Hela Cell with different doxycycline(Dox) concentration by lipofectamine3000 and get the data after 30hours.

We could find that without Dox, TRE-3G promoter hardly be activated because the fluorescent protein do not expressed. The higher concentration of Dox,the higher fluorescent protein expressed. But if the concentration reached 1000 ng/ml, the expression become low, that may be toxic to Hela cell for too high concentration.
