pRetroX-IRES-ZsGreen1 Vector
The pRetroX-IRES-ZsGreen1 vector is a bicistronic retroviral expression vector containing ZsGreen1 as a marker for transfection/infection efficiency. A gene of interest is inserted into the MCS located upstream of the encephalomyocarditis virus (ECMV) internal ribosomal entry site (IRES). The IRES sequence allows the protein of interest and ZsGreen1 to be independently translated from the same mRNA transcript. ZsGreen1 is a human codon-optimized variant of the Zoanthus sp. green fluorescent protein (ZsGreen) that has been engineered for brighter fluorescence and higher expression in mammalian cells.
Overview
- Retroviral transduction for high-efficiency gene delivery to a broad range of cell types
- High titers when combined with the Retro-X Universal Packaging System
- Also, see our lentiviral and adenoviral options
Applications
- Reporter studies
- Monitoring subcellular localization
- Monitoring transduction efficiency and gene expression levels
Mechanism of IRES bicistronic expression from Retro-X retroviral vectors
Mechanism of IRES bicistronic expression from Retro-X retroviral vectors. The internal ribosome entry site (IRES) permits a protein of interest and a fluorescent protein to be independently translated from the same mRNA. SD = Splice Donor. SA = Splice Acceptor. ψ = packaging signal. LTR = long terminal repeat.
Retro-X retroviral vector maps
Retro-X retroviral vector maps. IRES-containing bicistronic retroviral vectors allow you to express two target genes (Vector A: pQCXIX) or a target gene and an antibiotic resistance gene (Vector B: pQCXIH,pQCXIN and pQCXIP). Fluorescent-fusion retroviral vectors express your protein of interest fused to a fluorescent protein (Vector C: pRetroQ-AcGFP1 N1/C1 and pRetroQ-DsRed Monomer N1/C1). Knockout RNAi-Ready pSIREN-RetroQ retroviral vectors are prelinearized and ready to accept a dsDNA oligonucleotide encoding a shRNA of your choice, (Vectors D and E: RNAi-Ready pSIREN-RetroQ-DsRedExpress or pSIREN-RetroQ-ZsGreen and RNAi-Ready pSIREN-RetroQ). To express shRNA under tight, inducible control, use the knockout Tet series of retroviral vectors (Vector F: Knockout RNAi-Ready pSIREN-RetroQ-TetH and pSIREN-RetroQ TetP).
