Characteristics of Human Genome miRNA Target Expression Cloning
By analyzing the activity of firefly luciferase, the regulatory effects of miRNA on potential target genes can be obtained. After expression cloning and transcription, a chimeric mRNA of firefly luciferase ORF and 3'UTR is formed. If there is a specific miRNA that can complement and bind to a certain segment of the 3'UTR sequence, the activity of the protein encoded by the luciferase ORF in the chimeric protein is also regulated accordingly. Therefore, by detecting the luminescence intensity of luciferase, the mRNA regulation effect of miRNA corresponding to the target can be quantitatively determined.
