SV40 promoter

This is a promoter gene derived from SV40. It could initiate the transcription of downstream gene.

Usage and Biology

The promoter is a DNA region that initiates the transcription of a particular gene. The promoter is located upstream of the same strand at the transcription initiation site of a particular gene. ¹

At pmirGLO Vector, SV40 early enhancer/promotor is located at 426–844 nucleotides, with a length of 419 nucleotides. Its role is to initiates the transcription of the hRluc-neo fusion protein coding region.

Summary: This year we added quantitative data the SV40 promoter.

Accurate characterization of promoter behavior is essential for the rational design of functional synthetic transcription networks such as logic gates and oscillators[1]. To quantify the reliability of SV40 promoter characteristics with time, we made statistics of its downstream Renilla Luciferase expression as representation of SV40 activity at different time. We transferred 500ng plasmid of pmirGLO into each well of 24 well plate of HepG2 by Invitrogen Lipofectamine™3000. After transfection of 0h, 6h, 12h, 24h cells were gathered for test for Rluc expression. Data was collected by Beyotime™ RG027 Dual Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay Kit and analyzed by ImageJ. Results are shown below.

Figure 1. SV40 promoter characteristics represented by renilla luciferase expression from HepG2 cells growing in High Glucose Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium with 10% FBS.

Results indicate that renilla luciferase expression keeps increasing with time and reached maximum after transfection of 24h.
