Efficient knockdown of UBR7 using shRNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
shRNA plasmids for UBR7 with pLKO.1-puro backbone (Sigma-Aldrich) were screened for efficient knockdown. Two of seven shRNAs were selected for subsequent experiments. Their sequences are as follows: UBR7-sh1 5′-CAGTGCACCCAGGGTTATTTG-3′ and UBR7-sh2–5′-GCTTAAAGCTAAGCAGCTTAT-3′. UBR7-sh1 targets the 3′-UTR of the gene, so the overexpression constructs were resistant to the shRNAs. HEK293T cells were plated at a density of 3 × 105 cells in 10-cm dishes. Eight micrograms of shRNA and packaging vectors were transfected into the cells as described previously47 (link). Transduced cells were selected using puromycin (10 μg/ml; Sigma) for 3 days.

Targeted Gene Knockdown via shRNA Induction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Stable knockdown of gene expression was achieved using targeted
shRNA sequences in the pLKO.1-puro backbone (Sigma) and inducible
knockdown in the pLKO-Tet-On backbone (Wiederschain et al., 2009 (link)). A nonspecific scramble sequence
was used as a control in both cases. Knockdown was induced with
doxycycline at 500ng/mL at time points indicated. shRNA sequences can be
found in Table

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
