Abstract:
Objective To optimize the method of transcription activator‐like effector transcription factors (TALE‐TFs) con‐struction ,some improvement and adaption were made based on the traditional methods .Methods We first constructed the basic tandem fragments with different length ,including trimer ,tetramer ,pentamer and hexamer by Golden Gate cloning technique and PCR ,then the procedure with the highest efficacy was chosen to construct our TALE‐TFs .To determine the function of the TALE‐TFs ,the plasmid pminCMV with the specific binding sequence of TALE‐TFs was constructed by fragment substitution reaction (FSR) .The transcription activating function of TALE‐TFs was confirmed by the intensity of red fluorescence ,after TALE‐TFs , pEGFP‐N1 and pminCMV plasmid were co‐transfected into 293HEK cells .Results An optimized method for TALE‐TFs construc‐tion and functional assay was established .Conclusion This method can potentially be wildly used in fields that the expression of some constitutively expressed genes needs to be modified .
