AAV

This AAV expresses Cre driven by a neuron CaMKIIalpha promoter.
This 1.3 Kb CaMKIIalpha promoter is derived from the murine alpha-Calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII), a gene with expression restricted to excitatory neurons in the neocortex and hippocampus. In cortical neurons, it was shown that the promoter activity of CaMKII(1.3) is about double that of CaMKII(2.4), probably due to some inhibitory element(s).
Cre is a recombinase from the P1 bacteriophage. This enzyme carries out site-specific recombination between two DNA recognition sites (LoxP sites) through a topoisomerase I-like mechanism. The Cre recombinase here has been codon-optimized leading to a higher level of Cre protein [removed]iCre). The 34base pair (bp) loxP recognition site, ATAACTTCGTATA ATGTATGC TATACGAAGTTAT, consists of two 13 bp palindromic sequence which flank an 8 bp spacer region. The products of Cre-mediated recombination at loxP sites are dependent upon the location and relative orientation of the loxP sites. For example, two separate DNA species both containing loxP sites can undergo fusion as the result of Cre-mediated recombination. DNA sequences found between two loxP sites on the same DNA molecule are said to be floxed. In this case, the products of Cre-mediated recombination depend upon the orientation of the loxP sites: DNA found between two loxP sites oriented in the same direction will be excised as a circular loop of DNA, whereas DNA between two loxP sites that are oriented oppositely will be inverted. Besides LoxP sites, other Lox sites have been designed and tested, such as Lox272 and LoxN etc. These Lox elements have been widely used for genetic studies
