一种方便酶切鉴定的shRNA表达载体改建方法

目的 建立一种用单限制性内切酶酶切来快速筛选重组小发夹RNA(shRNA)表达载体的方法.方法 制备包含单一限制性内切酶Cta Ⅰ识别序列的双链DNA插入片段(Cla Ⅰ位点两侧碱基序列不互补).与BamH Ⅰ和Hind Ⅲ线性化的shRNA表达载体pSilencer-4.1(不含Cla Ⅰ识别序列)构建载体pSilencer-4.1-Cla Ⅰ.用BamH Ⅰ和Hind Ⅲ酶切pSilencer-4.1-Cla Ⅰ,将酶切产物与表达绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)shRNA的DNA模板(不含Cla Ⅰ识别序列)做连接反应.构建GFP shRNA表达质粒.提取阳性克隆质粒DNA,行Cla Ⅰ单酶切鉴定,对未被Cla Ⅰ线性化的质粒行DNA测序鉴定.结果 DNA测序表明正确构建了shRNA表达载体pSilencer-4.1-Cla Ⅰ,以pSilencer-4.1-Cla Ⅰ为载体构建的GFPshRNA候选重组子中,不能被Cla Ⅰ线性化的均为GFP shRNA表达质粒.结论 构建了可用于制备shRNA表达质粒的通用载体pSilencer-4.1-Cla Ⅰ,所引入的单一的Cla Ⅰ识别位点可以用来快速地筛选重组shRNA表达质粒.

An method for small hairpin RNA expression vector reconstruction for easy single restriction endonuclease identification

OBJECTIVE: To develop an effective method for screening recombinant hairpin RNA expression plasmids using single restriction endonuclease analysis. METHODS: The double-strand DNA fragment containing a ClaI site (the flanking sequences of which were not complementary) was annealed and ligated into small hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression vector pSilencer-4.1 that did not contain ClaI site to construct the circular pSilencer-4.1-ClaI vector. With BamHI and HindIII, the pSilencer-4.1-ClaIwas digested and ligated with the DNA template of green fluorescence protein (GFP) shRNA that did not include a ClaI site. The plasmid DNA of the positive clones was extracted and digested with ClaI, and the inserted DNA sequence of the non-linearized plasmid was identified by sequence analysis. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: DNA sequencing showed that pSilencer-4.1-ClaI was correctly constructed and the plasmids resistant to ClaI digestion were all recombinant vectors encoding GFP shRNA. The constructed pSilencer-4.1-ClaI can be used as a universal vector to construct the shRNA expression plasmid, and the incorporated ClaI sites may allow efficient screening of recombinant shRNA expression vectors.
