Yeast expression vectors using RNA polymerase III promoters.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of Saccharomyces cerevisiae--Escherichia coli shuttle vectors is described in which small RNAs can be stably expressed in yeast from two different promoters for RNA polymerase III transcription. The vectors are available in either high- or low-copy-number forms with either URA3, HIS3, or TRP1 selection markers, and are based on a previously described set of plasmid vectors [Sikorski and Hieter, Genetics 122 (1989) 19-27]. Transcripts have structured pre-tRNA or RPR1 leaders fused to RNA corresponding to inserted sequences. Levels of RNA accumulation are dependent on plasmid copy number and the type of transcript.

Mutation of nucleotides around the +1 position of type 3 polymerase III promoters: The effect on transcriptional activity and start site usage
Type 3 RNA polymerase III (Pol III) promoters are widely used for the expression of small RNAs such as short hairpin RNA and guide RNA in the popular RNAi and CRISPR-Cas gene regulation systems. Although it is generally believed that type 3 Pol III promoters use a defined transcription start site (+1 position), most man-made promoter constructs contain local sequence alterations of which the im...
متن کاملDifferent human TFIIIB activities direct RNA polymerase III transcription from TATA-containing and TATA-less promoters.
Transcription initiation at RNA polymerase III promoters requires transcription factor IIIB (TFIIIB), an activity that binds to RNA polymerase III promoters, generally through protein-protein contacts with DNA binding factors, and directly recruits RNA polymerase III. Saccharomyces cerevisiae TFIIIB is a complex of three subunits, TBP, the TFIIB-related factor BRF, and the more loosely associat...

BioTechniques 625 Adenoviral shuttle vectors to express short hairpin RNAs (shRNA) using RNA polymerase III (RNA pol III) promoters (mouse U6, human H1, or human U6) have been constructed in several laboratories including Welgen (Worcester, MA, USA), BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA, USA), Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA, USA), and GeneScript (Piscataway, NJ, USA). Welgen and Invitrogen developed adenovir...
متن کاملAn RNA polymerase II construct synthesizes short-hairpin RNA with a quantitative indicator and mediates highly efficient RNAi
RNA interference (RNAi) mediates gene silencing in many eukaryotes and has been widely used to investigate gene functions. A common method to induce sustained RNAi is introducing plasmids that synthesize short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) using Pol III promoters. While these promoters synthesize shRNAs and elicit RNAi efficiently, they lack cell specificity. Monitoring shRNA expression levels in indiv...

RNA interference (RNAi) induced by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has recently become a powerful tool to knock-down gene expression in a sequence-specific manner. In addition to chemically made siRNAs, stable expression of siRNA in the form of short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) expressed from an RNA polymerase III (pol III) promoter is now widely used approach for the application of RNAi in mammalian...
