pEPito plasmids with
S/MAR elements
S/MAR elements (scaffold/matrix attachment regions) are anchor sequences that link independently regulatable chromatin domains to the protein skeleton of the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
In addition to supporting transcription and protecting against inactivation of (foreign) genetic information, a specific feature of these S/MAR elements has proven particularly important for the production of highly efficient plasmid DNA.
Plasmids that contain a S/MAR element inserted at a defined location, in addition to the therapeutically effective gene, are replicated episomally and passed on as independent units to the daughter cells of the eukaryotic target cell.
In other words, the plasmid is maintained as an episome for many generations, even in the absence of selection pressure, and will be stably expressed as an autonomous genetic unit without integrating.
The anchor sequence has been successfully reduced to a minimal motif of about 733 base pairs, without significantly affecting stable propagation to the daughter cells.
Corresponding plasmids and minicircles with S/MAR elements for stable gene expression (e.g. the pEPI and pEpito families) are marketed by PlasmidFactory via corresponding licensing agreements.
