Basic Vector Information

The pGL3 BRE Luciferase vector is an important tool for studying the BMP signaling pathway. It is used in BMP signaling pathway research to detect the regulatory effect of BMP on gene transcription. When transfected into cells like C2C12 and stimulated by BMP, its luciferase activity reflects the pathway's activation, being unaffected by TGF - β or activin, thus distinguishing the BMP pathway's role.
It is also used in gene transcription regulation research, helping understand how BMP regulates genes like Id1. By mutating vector elements and detecting luciferase activity, the role of each element in BMP - induced transcription activation can be determined.
The vector has high specificity for BMP signals, as its specific sequence elements allow activation only in BMP's presence and not by other factors like TGF - β, activin, or serum, enabling accurate study of the BMP pathway's role. It also has good sensitivity, as luciferase activity shows a strict dose - dependent change when cells are stimulated by different BMP concentrations, allowing precise study of the pathway's activity change.

Plasmid Protocol

1. Centrifuge at 5,000×g for 5 min.

2. Carefully open the tube and add 20 μl of sterile water to dissolve the DNA.

3. Close the tube and incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature.

4. Briefly vortex the tube and then do a quick spin to concentrate the liquid at the bottom. Speed is less than 5000×g.

5. Store the plasmid at -20 ℃.

6. The concentration of plasmid re-measurement sometimes differs from the nominal value, which may be due to the position of the lyophilized plasmid in the tube, the efficiency of the re-dissolution, the measurement bias, and adsorption on the wall of the tube, therefore, it is recommended to transform and extract the plasmid before using it

General Plasmid Transform Protocol

1. Take one 100μl of the competent cells and thaw it on ice for 10min, add 2μl of plasmid, then ice bath for 30min, then heat-shock it at 42℃ for 60s, do not stir, and then ice bath for 2min.

2. Add 900μl of LB liquid medium without antibiotics, and incubate at 37℃ for 45min (30℃ for 1-1.5 hours) with 180rpm shaking.

3. Centrifuge at 6000rpm for 5min, leave only 100μl of supernatant to resuspend the bacterial precipitate and spread it onto the target plasmid-resistant LB plate.

4. Invert the plate and incubate at 37℃ for 14h, or at 30℃ for 20h.

5. Pick a single colony into LB liquid medium, add the corresponding antibiotics, incubate at 220rpm for 14h, and extract the plasmid according to the experimental needs and the instructions of the plasmid extraction kit.
