Efficacy of pVALIUM20-based vs pVALIUM22-based RNAi constructs in germline and soma compared. pVALIUM20 generates effective knockdown phenotypes in both germline and soma; pVALIUM22 is more effective for knockdowns in the germline and effects appear to be restricted to the female germline (excluding somatic ovarian cells), but is significantly less effective in the soma.
"VALIUM" stands for Vermilion-AttB-Loxp-Intron-UAS-MCS.
pVALIUM22 allows cloning of short hairpins as annealed synthetic oligos; these are targeted against specific genes via the production of short hairpin microRNAs. pVALIUM22 contains vermillion as a selectable marker; an attB sequence to allow phiC31-targeted integration at genomic attP landing sites; two gypsy sequences to enhance hairpin DNA transcription; two pentamers of UAS, one of which can be excised using the Cre/loxP system to generate a 5XUAS derivative; the P-transposase core promoter; a multiple cloning site (MCS) for cloning shmiRNAs in a miR1 scaffold, and a ftz 3'UTR intron followed by a K10 polyA.
pVALIUM22 triggers effective RNAi knock-down and corresponding phenotypes in the female germline; it is less effective in somatic cells.
