This 39 plasmid kit is used to assemble custom-made RNA-binding proteins for recognition of 8-base long targets within RNA. The kit is based on the Pumilio and FBF (PUF) homology domain of the full-length human Pumilio 1 protein.
The kit will be shipped to most countries as bacterial glycerol stocks, 96-well format, on dry ice. Samples should be frozen at -80°C immediately upon arrival. Scientists in countries that cannot receive dry ice shipments will receive a room temperature version of the kit that needs to be processed immediately upon arrival.

Description
This collection comprises 39 plasmids for assembly of a custom-made RNA-binding protein for recognition of an 8-base long target within an RNA of choice. The kit is based on the Pumilio and FBF (PUF) homology domain, which comprises amino acids 828-1176 of the full-length human Pumilio 1 protein. Eight modules corresponding to eight structural repeats of the PUF domain are assembled using the Golden Gate method. The collection comprises 4 variations of each module for the recognition of any of the 4 RNA bases. The kit also contains two receiving vectors, pET28-GG-PUF for Escherichia coli expression and pCMV-TTP (C147R)-GG-PUF for mammalian expression of PUF domain C-terminally fused to human tristetraprolin (TTP), a translational regulator.

- Resistance Color Key
Each circle corresponds to a specific antibiotic resistance in the kit plate map wells.
- Inventory
Searchable and sortable table of all plasmids in kit. The Well column lists the plasmid well location in its plate. The Plasmid column links to a plasmid's individual web page.
- Kit Plate Map
96-well plate map for plasmid layout. Hovering over a well reveals the plasmid name, while clicking on a well opens the plasmid page.
