10x[TALA] operator_minimal promoter_TALA:NLS:VP16_t2a_BFP

TALA labels represents TAL effector 1257 from zebrafish experiments (Sander et al., 2011)

Introduction

Our construct contain TALA binding sites that are cloned upstream of minimal promoter. Downstream of promoter are TALA:VP16 and blue fluorescent protein.

To enable monitoring level of expression of TAL activator, we linked it with a fluorescent reporter. BFP is a monomeric fluorescent protein with excitation maximum at 402 nm and emision maximum at 457 nm. TAL activator and fluorescent reporter were connected by an intermediate t2A sequence, causing the ribosome to skip the formation of a peptide bond during protein translation, producing the activator and reporter as separate proteins in equimolar amounts (recently also used by Garg et al., 2012), (Kim et al., 2011, de Felipe et al., 2006).
