DD-ZsGreen1 Reporter System
The DD-ZsGreen1 Reporter System includes the pDD-ZsGreen1 Reporter vector and Shield1. The pDD-ZsGreen1 Reporter is a promoterless vector designed to insert your promoter of interest upstream of the green fluorescent protein ZsGreen1, tagged at its N-terminus with the ProteoTuner destabilization domain (DD). The DD causes the reporter protein to be rapidly targeted to and degraded by proteasomes. This very efficient and controllable destabilization method will minimize any reporter background fluorescence from leaky promoters prior to promoter activation.
To analyze promoter activity, a candidate inducer is added to the medium along with Shield1, which effectively stabilizes the reporter protein and allows it to accumulate. As a result, only the reporter molecules expressed during promoter induction will contribute to the fluorescence signal, providing a considerably higher signal-to-noise ratio than that obtained with non-destabilized or constitutively destabilized reporter systems.
DD-Fluorescent Protein promoter reporters provide a much greater fold increase in signal intensity than traditional fluorescent protein reporters, which do not contain the DD
DD-Fluorescent Protein promoter reporters provide a much greater fold increase in signal intensity than traditional fluorescent protein reporters, which do not contain the DD. HEK 293 cells were transfected with plasmids encoding the following reporters: CRE-tdTomato, CRE-DD-tdTomato, CRE-ZsGreen1, and CRE-DD-ZsGreen1. 24 hr later, the cells were stimulated with 10 μM forskolin and simultaneously treated with 1 μM Shield1. After 4.5 hr, fluorescence intensity was measured via flow cytometry, and fold induction was calculated. The tdTomato and ZsGreen1 reporters containing the DD had three- and six-fold greater fluorescence intensity respectively, than the versions without the DD, due to the latter’s increased background levels.
Ligand-dependent, targeted, and reversible fluorescent protein reporter stabilization
Ligand-dependent, targeted, and reversible fluorescent protein reporter stabilization. A small destabilization domain (DD) is fused to the fluorescent protein reporter. The small membrane-permeant ligand Shield1 binds to the DD and protects the entire fusion protein from proteasomal degradation. Removal of Shield1, however, causes rapid degradation of the entire DD-fluorescent protein reporter. The default pathway for the DD-Fluorescent Protein Reporter Systems is degradation of the DD-fluorescent protein reporter, assuring low background, unless Shield1 is present, assuring low background.
