sRNA Characterization

Taken from: A Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)-Based Plasmid System to Study Post-Transcriptional Control of Gene Expression In Vivo: Johannes H. Urban and Jörg Vogel, 2009

This protocol is used to characterize an E. coli small RNA and its ability to downregulate a reporter gene (GFP). The small RNA is cloned out of the E. coli chromosome and inserted into a high-copy number plasmid (pJU-334). The sRNA's target sequence is also cloned out of the E. coli chromosome and inserted into a low-copy number plasmid (pXG-10). Both plasmids are then transformed into E. coli Top10F' cells. Successful sRNA repression is indicated by a decreased level of fluorescence in the cells.
