miRNA Mimics & Inhibitors - Active Motif

  

 

Active Motif LightSwitch™ Luciferase  Assay System
The LightSwitch™ Luciferase Assay System includes over 18,000 promoters that have been cloned from the human genome into transfection-ready LightSwitch reporter vectors, which are assayed in living cells using our optimized luciferase assay reagents and protocols. Also available are Synthetic Response Element constructs and Pathway Reporter Stable Cell Lines.

optimized elements for the study of 3´UTR-miRNA interactions
 
 
The LightSwitch™ Synthetic miRNA Target Reporter Collection is ideal for performing miRNA target validation, as well as assessing the functional impact of of miRNA-3´UTR interactions. In contrast to the over 12K cloned endogenous 3´UTR constructs that make up the LightSwitch 3´UTR Reporter GoClone Collection , LightSwitch Synthetic miRNA Target Reporter constructs contain repeats of known 3´UTR sequences that have been optimized for increased miRNA binding. This enables them to provide stronger responses than the native, endogenous sequences (see Data tab).
 
Similarly, for researchers studying transcriptional regulation of specific biological pathways, we offer a collection of optimized LightSwitch Synthetic Response Elements
  
IMPORTANT:  Because all LightSwitch reporter constructs contain the optimized RenSP luciferase gene, you MUST use our LightSwitch Luciferase Assay Reagents to obtain optimal results. (Other luciferase assay reagents are not compatible with RenSP.)
 
The LightSwitch Synthetic miRNA Target Reporter Collection includes over 900 constructs that contain optimized synthetic targets consisting of sequence repeats that are fully complementary to a variety of human and human viral miRNAs. The sequences are based on miRBase 16 annotations, and have been cloned into the pLightSwitch_3UTR reporter vector, which utilizes a constitutive promoter to drive expression of the novel, engineered RenSP luciferase gene. As the optimized target sequence has been cloned downstream of RenSP, the vector produces a hybrid RenSP luciferase-3´UTR transcript that is assayed using the LightSwitch Luciferase Assay Kit.
 
In addition to the LightSwitch Synthetic miRNA Target Reporter Collection, we offer over 12,000 endogenous human 3´UTR constructs as the LightSwitch 3´UTR Reporter GoClone Collection, which have also been cloned into the pLightSwitch_3UTR vector.

Both the LightSwitch Synthetic miRNA Target Reporter constructs and the LightSwitch 3´UTR Reporter constructs were designed to be co-transfected with our collections of LightSwitch miRNA Mimics and Inhibitors to study the effects of over-expression of a miRNA of interest, or to knock down the expression of endogenous human miRNAs in living cells.
 
 
LightSwitch Synthetic miRNA Target Reporter constructs
 
LightSwitch Synthetic miRNA Target Reporter constructs are ideal for the study of miRNA-3´UTR target interactions. Because the optimized, synthetic target sequences cloned into these constructs can provide a stronger response than the endogenous sequences, they are well suited for use as positive controls in miRNA target validation experiments. They can also be used to help determine the levels of natural miRNA expression in your cell line and to screen for which cell lines will work best for your miRNA experiments. Please see the Data tab for examples.
 
Applications
•Validate miRNA Targets – Use as a positive control in miRNA target validation studies.
•Measure miRNA Levels – Use as a biosensor to measure relative levels of endogenous miRNA in your cell line.
•Pre-screen Cell Lines – Use to determine which cell lines will be most appropriate for experiments involving the specific miRNA mimics or inhibitors you wish to study.
 
In addition to our LightSwitch products, Active Motif offers Custom miRNA Target Validation Services in which we can we can validate the targets of your miRNAs of interest using our high-throughput, cell-based assay.
