DNA转录、翻译和T7启动子转录特点

概念梳理:

  1. 由于DNA双链中的下面一条与mRNA互补,以其为模板合成mRNA,因此这条链被称为模板链转录链,上方这条链则为非模板链(templae strand)非转录链(nontemplae strand)

  2. 由于非模板链与相应的mRNA在本质上有相同的编码特征,许多遗传学家又称它为编码链(coding strand),与它相对的另一条链为非编码链(anticoding strand)

  3. 同样,由于上方链与mRNA意义相同,也称为正义链(sense strand),下方的链称为反义链(antisense strand)

所以T7聚合酶的工作方式就是:识别正义链的T7启动子序列,然后以反义链为模板,按照5'-3'的方向进行转录,转录生成的序列应当是与正义链完全一致的序列。

FAQ: Does the transcription reaction with T7 RNA Polymerase require a primer?
No, T7 RNA Polymerase recognizes its specific promoter sequence and starts transcription at the final G. The polymerase then transcribes using the opposite strand as a template from 5’->3’.

To make an antisense probe, design the oligo to contain the reverse complement sequence ( short gray line ) downstream of the polymerase promoter ( gray overhang line containing T3 RNA polymerase promoter sequence as an example). To make a sense probe, design the oligo to contain the coding sequence ( short black line ) downstream of the polymerase promoter ( black overhang line containing T7 RNA polymerase promoter sequence as an example)
