10x[TALB] operator_CMV promoter_TALA:KRAB:NLS_t2a_mCitrine

TALB and TALA labels represents TAL effectors 1297 and 1257 respectively from zebrafish experiments (Sander et al., 2011)

Introduction

This part combined with 10x[TALA] operator_CMV promoter_TALB:NLS:KRAB_t2a_mNeptune is the key element of the mutual repressor switch.

The part contains 10 repeats of TALB binding sites upstream of a CMV promoter (constitutive promoter for expression in mammalian cells). Downstream of the promoter, there is the TAL repressor TALA:KRAB linked to the yellow fluorescent protein mCitrine, by a t2A sequence. The t2A sequence, causes the ribosome to skip the formation of a peptide bond during protein translation, producing TALA:KRAB and mCitrine as separate proteins in equimolar amounts (Garg et.al, 2012). mCitrine functions as a reporter for the expression of TALA:KRAB, it is a yellow fluorescent protein with an excitation peak at 516 nm, an emission peak at 529 nm and brightness of 58.5.

Characterization

HEK293T cells were transfected with 10×[B]_PCMV_TALA:KRAB_mCitrine and visualized under confocal microscope. Cells were shown to fluoresce with mCitrine, showing that mCitrine is expressed.

HEK293T cells were transfected with 10×[B]_PCMV_TALA:KRAB_mCitrine, 10×[A]_PCMV_TALB:KRAB_mNeptune, 10×[A]_PCMV_fLuciferase reporter (firefly luciferase) and different amounts of PCMV_TALB:KRAB. TALB:KRAB represses TALA:KRAB causing derepression of fLuciferase, showing that the construct is repressed by TALB:KRAB.
