Mouse siGENOME siRNA Library - Ubiquitin Conjugation Subset 2

Trusted for superior silencing since 2002

An arrayed siRNA collection targeting mouse F-box and SOCS Box E3 ligases. siGENOME siRNA is a cost-effective choice for RNAi screening. Available as SMARTpool or 4 individual siRNA reagents.

The Mouse siGENOME Ubiquitin Conjugation 2 siRNA library targets F-box and SOCS box E3 ligases, known and predicted substrate recognition elements for Cul-1 and Cul-2-containing ubiquitin ligases. Well-known members of this E3 ligase family include bTRCP, SKP2, and VHL.

siGENOME siRNA reagents are globally recognized and trusted for highly effective performance in RNAi screening applications. Our expertise in siRNA design, experimental optimization, and siRNA screening strategies provide end-to-end support of your screening efforts.

Screening with siGENOME SMARTpool siRNA reagents provide effective target silencing

Effective silencing achieved for 440 kinase genes when screened with SMARTpool siRNA reagents in two cell lines. Under screening conditions these overall results provide validation of siRNA design and SMARTpool technology for effective target knockdown. HeLa and MCF10a cells were transfected with 50 nM of each siRNA using DharmaFECT 1 transfection reagent. Target mRNA levels were determined by branched DNA assay (Panomics Quantigene® Reagent System). The pie chart represents the summary of silencing achieved for the entire data set (880 total data points). The bar graph is a representative sample of genes assayed.

Unnecessary sense-strand inactivation can increase off-target activity

Unmodified and sense strand-inactivated siRNAs were used to target five genes. In four cases, off-targets were increased due to enhanced RISC loading of the antisense strand when the sense strand was modified. The unmodified siRNAs have natural guide-strand loading characteristics. All siRNAs had comparable silencing potency. Data shown represents genes down-regulated by twofold or more. HEK293 cells were transfected with 100 nM siRNA using 0.2 μL of DharmaFECT 1. Data was analyzed at 24 hours by genomewide microarray analysis (Agilent).

Why not modify ALL siGENOME siRNAs to ensure proper strand loading? It has been demonstrated by Dharmacon scientists1 and others2 that forcing antisense (guide) strand entry into RISC may actually INCREASE off-targets due to increased loading of the guide strand and resulting off-target activity by its seed region. siGENOME siRNAs are designed with thermodynamic properties to naturally facilitate guide strand entry to RISC, which has been demonstrated to correlate with functionality1. However, in cases where a high-scoring siGENOME siRNA does not possess ideal strand-loading characteristics, a sense (passenger) strand-inhibiting chemical modification (ON-TARGET) is utilized to promote guide strand entry. Approximately 20% of siGENOME siRNAs carry the ON-TARGET modification.
