Part:BBa_K4683002
hsa-miR-1-3p eRCA Padlock Probe
This part is the sequence for the hsa-miR-1-3p eRCA Padlock Probe, which our team designed to be specific to BBa_K4245006, hsa-miR-1-3p. This miRNA acts as a biomarker for Coronary Artery Disease and is therefore potentially useful for the early detection of this condition. Contrary to typical Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA) padlock probes consist of an additional part between the arms and the middle sequence: Nb.BbvCI nicking enzyme cut sites BBa_M31961 (Li et al., 2017). Nicking endonuclease, Nb.BbvCI, is then able to recognize these sites during amplification and cleave only one strand of the eRCP (exponential rolling circle product) while it is still bound to the padlock probe (Biolabs) This ensures that the padlock probe remains intact while releasing individual strands of the target miRNA and middle sequence. These miRNAs can then bind to the padlock probe and initiate the eRCA process again, essentially creating an endless loop of amplification until the reagents are consumed or the reaction is deactivated. The produced transcript contains cut repeats of the middle sequence (see fig). In this case, the complement of the Lettuce Aptamer BBa_K4683000 was used so that during the amplification process, Lettuce Aptamers would be produced.
