Depositor Comments

The LeGO-Cer/BSD backbone was cut with XbaI and XhoI to remove the mouse U6 promoter. The linearized plasmid was blunted by a proof-read Polymerase and religated. The resulting LeGO-Cer-noU6 was cut with BamHI and the mouse phosphoglycerate kinase 1 promoter (PGK) -amplified from the MSCV-puro vector (Clonetech/Takara Bio) - was inserted in sense orientation to drive expression of the Cerulean-BSD cassette. An SV40 consensus polyadenylation signal (pA) with a PacI and a PstI site at the 3' end was gene synthesized and inserted into the NsiI site before the PGK promoter. The SFFV promoter from the LeGO-Cer backbone was removed by excision with NotI and PacI and a cloning oligo with an MCS for lncRNA insertion (5'-NotI->AanI->XmaJI->XhoI->XbaI->HpaI->PacI-3') was inserted with NotI and PacI. The SFFV fragment -amplified from LeGO-Cer- was reinserted into the NotI site to drive expression of the lnRNA-pA cassette.
