Design Notes

A padlock probe, which is often 30-150 nucleotides in length, is a single-stranded DNA sequence designed to recognize a specific target sequence. The “arms” of a padlock probe are the ends of the ssDNA that are complementary to a specific target sequence. The middle sequence (the sequence between the arms) can be specifically designed to perform a function once amplified. (Nilsson et al., 1994)
Lambert iGEM found three specific miRNAs — hsa-miR-1-3p (BBa_K4245006), hsa-mir-133a-3p (BBa_K4245009), and hsa-miR-208a-3p (BBa_K4245011)— to be upregulated in correlation to CAD (Kaur et al., 2020). For miRNA 1, we designed two complementary arms, BBa_K4245100, the 3' arm for hsa-miR-1-3p and BBa_K4245107, the 5' arm for hsa-miR-1-3p. For the reporter, we decided on BBa_K3380153, the Broccoli fluorescent RNA aptamer, for its short length and function similar to GFP. In order to stabilize the folding of the Broccoli fluorescent RNA aptamer, we added BBa_K4245160, the padlock spacer sequence.
