pSMB_MEASURE: Promoter Measurement plasmid (mammalian)

plasmid: modified from pcDNA5/FRT (Invitrogen) as described below
GFP: PCR from a plasmid containing eGFP-N1
pSMB_MEASURE (SMB is for Synthetic Mammalian Biology) should be used for promoter characterization in mammalian cells. pSMB_MEASURE contains a reference promoter, JeT[1], which is flanked by BBb_2 (Tom Knight) sites and can therefore be replaced by the promoter to be measured. JeT is ideal as a reference promoter for a variety of reasons. First, it has an intermediate expression strength; second, it is regulated by a wide variety of transcription factors and low levels of change in fluorescence among different conditions. Third, we want to pay tribute to its creators as pioneers in synthetic promoter research.
We separated JeT's core promoter from its proximal promoter by a HindIII site; it can therefore be used for screening of synthetic proximal promoters or for modifiying the strength of a promoter by core promoter swapping (described in our wiki http://2009.igem.org/Team:Heidelberg/Project_Synthetic_promoters ). In addition, it contains a FRT site which will allow for stable integration into mammalian cells also containing a FRT site. Thus, it provides the possibility to characterize the promoter in a defined genome and in this way helps to avoid some of the challenges we identified for promoter characterization. For the same reason, it also contains a mammalian selection marker (hygromycine). For the generation of the plasmid, please see our Notebook. As a reporter gene, it contains GFP, which is followed by a SV40 mammalian terminator. We generated another plasmid pSMB_REFERENCE, which contains mcherry instead of GFP. It can be used for normalizations to transfection efficiency.

As a starting plasmid, we used pcDNA5/FRT (Invitrogen), as having this plasmid at hand was an immediate requirement for our project and we did not have the time to construct it from parts. We nevertheless highly modified it by performing two site-directed mutageneses to remove prohibited cutsites, we removed the CMV promoter it contained and inserted JeT, a well-described[1] synthetic promoter which we modified to contain a HindIII cutsite between the proximal and the core promoter for promoter screening. We also added full BBB_2 (Tom Knight) sites to it. Then, we synthesized it by Assembly PCR and inserted it via a MfeI and a PstI site. We then fixed eGFP plus a Kozak-sequence (eukaryotic RBS) into the plasmid backbone by cutting with PstI and BClI
