2x[NicTAL]+2x[TALD] operator_minimal promoter_mCitrine

  • TALD label represents TAL effector 1295 from zebrafish experiments (Sander et al., 2011).

Introduction

Transcription activation like (TAL) effectors are proteins able to specifically bind desired DNA sequence. The central domain of the protein is constructed from variable number of tandem repeats differing only in two amino acids. The 12th and the 13th amino acid are called a “repeat variable diresidue” (RVD) and are responsible for specific interactions with the corresponding base pair (Scholze and Boch, 2011). This modularity of TAL effector binding domains therefore makes them a perfect tool to target specific DNA sequences.

Our construct contains two specific binding sites for NicTAL12 and TALD upstream of CMV promoter. Downstream of CMV promoter we cloned yellow fluorescent protein mCitrine an easy detectable monomer with excitation maximum at 516 nm and emission maximum at 529 nm. (Figure 1). After binding of NicTAL12:KRAB or TALD:KRAB on binding sites, a repression of reporter protein mCitrine occurs.

Single binding sequence for NicTAL12 is: TCTATCAATGATAGA Single binding sequence for TALD is: TCGTCCAATAGCTTCTC
