Estrogen Sensitive Promoters in Repressor Cacades
Our Genetic Circuit for Repressor Cascade Characterization
Figure . Our estrogen sensitive promoters respond to increases in E2 levels by producing more of the repressor. The repressors then bind to binding sites in a promoter upstream of fluorescent reporter eYFP. The constitutively active trans-activator Gal4-VP16 sets a large basal eYFP expression when there is no repressor, so that a measurable drop in signal can be observed when repressors are active. Constituvely active hEF1a mKate serves as a transfection marker by which we bin our data.
Repressor Cascades in ISH
Figure . Results from pERE#n - repressor cascades pairing pERE3, pERE5, pERE6 and TAL14, BM3R1. Blue contours represent the cell population that was left uninduced, green contours represent the cell population that was induced with 5 nM E2.
