General description

This cloning vector contains two promoters that terminate transcription at the same poly-adenylation signal allowing the expression of two genes from one expression cassette. The second promoter (PGK) is approximately 10-fold weaker than the upstream CMV promoter.

Promoter Expression Level: PSF-CMV-PGK - DUAL PROMOTER EXPRESSION PLASMID contains the mammalian CMV promoter to drive gene expression. We have tested all of our mammalian promoters in a range of cell types and CMV is consistently the strongest in those we have studied. However there are many reports of the CMV promoter demonstrating silencing by methylation in long-term culture.

Application

PSF-CMV-PGK - DUAL PROMOTER EXPRESSION PLASMID contains two multiple cloning sites and allows the insertion of two genes one downstream of the CMV promoter and one downstream of the PGK promoter. Both promoters terminate transcription at the same poly-adenylation signal

Multiple Cloning Site Notes: There is a start codon in the NcoI site that can be removed by digestion with KpnI if required. The MCS for gene insertions extends from NotI to XbaI but the Shine-Dalgarno sequences and KOZAK ribosomal entry site sequences are aligned with the start codon in the NcoI site. The PGK promoter has been inserted between the ClaI and BamHI sites and contains sites downstream to allow a second gene to be inserted.

The BsgI and BseRI restriction sites in the first MCS cleave within the stop codon in the XbaI site and allow the retrospective fusion of coding sequences.

The efficacy of vaccine adjuvants such as Toll-like receptor agonists (TLRa) can be improved through formulation and delivery approaches. Here, we attached small molecule TLR-7/8a to polymer scaffolds (polymer-TLR-7/8a) and evaluated how different physicochemical properties of the TLR-7/8a and polymer

Dickkopf-3 (Dkk-3) is a secreted protein whose expression is downregulated in many types of cancer. Endogenous Dkk-3 is required for formation of acini in 3D cultures of prostate epithelial cells, where it inhibits transforming growth factor (TGF)-β/Smad signaling. Here, we

Recycling of signaling proteins is a common phenomenon in diverse signaling pathways. In photoreceptors of Drosophila, light absorption by rhodopsin triggers a phospholipase Cβ-mediated opening of the ion channels transient receptor potential (TRP) and TRP-like (TRPL) and generates the visual

The Notch3 signaling pathway is thought to play a critical role in cancer development, as evidenced by the Notch3 amplification and rearrangement observed in human cancers. However, the molecular mechanism by which Notch3 signaling contributes to tumorigenesis is largely unknown.
