Rep40 in some minutes
• 40 kDa
• ATPase and helicase activity
• Involved in genome encapsidation
The smallest Rep protein (Rep40) possesses helicase and ATPase activity as well, but does not have strict requirements for DNA duplexes containing a 3´single-stranded end. Rep40 helicase activity requires bivalent ions such as Mg2+ or Mn2+ and is most active using ATP as substrate. Lacking the zinc finger domain, present in Rep52, Rep40 requires dimerization for functional helicase activity (Collaco, Kalman-Maltese, Smith, Dignam, & Trempe, 2003). Rep40/52 proteins are required for translocation of the single-stranded, viral genomes into the preformed capsids proceeding with the 3´end of the DNA (King, Dubielzig, Grimm, & Kleinschmidt, 2001).


Characterization

The BioBrick part beta-globin intron consists partially of a chimeric CMV promoter, followed by the intron II of the beta-globin gene. The 3´end of the intron is fused to the first 20 nucleotides of exon 3 of the beta globin gene. Our BioBrick part beta globin intron is assumed to enhance eukaryotic gene expression.
AAV-293 cells were transfected with all genes necessary for producing viral particles encapsidating two different rAAV genomes with and without beta-globin intron respectively. mVenus expression was determined by flow cytometry 24-hours post infection of HT1080 cells. The rAAV genomes missing the beta-globin intron showed a negligible difference in mVenus expression compared to viral genomes containing the beta-globin intron. Considering these results, we suggest using the beta-globin intron in dependence on the size of your transgene.
