Design Notes

[http://2009.igem.org/Team:Heidelberg/Project_Synthetic_promoters RA-PCR] (Fig. 1) was conducted with Oligos containing a pPARγ binding site, plus a small number of "general activators" (NF-Y, Sp1, Ap1, CREB). 12 clones were picked, miniprepped and transfected. pPARγ was then induced by the addition of Thiazolidinedione (5µM) for 10 hours, and left uninduced as a control. The plate was then scanned by TECAN, an automated fluorescence plate reader. TECAN is very imprecise on eukaryotic cells, and the arbitrary fluorescence we meausred is not proportional to [http://2009.igem.org/Team:Heidelberg/Project_Measurement REU] or another precise measure of mammalian promoter activity, but it can serve as a rough indicator of promoter induction. We picked two promising clones for submission to the registry and provide a rough characterization.
