psiRNA-h7SK
7SK-based expression of shRNAs
psiRNA-h7SK is a family of expression vectors designed to generate shRNAs from the human 7SK RNA polymerase III promoter. 7SK is an abundant and evolutionarily conserved small nuclear RNA transcribed by RNA polymerase III [1]. The human 7SK promoter is ideal for the production of shRNAs as it can generate high amounts of shRNAs [1, 2]. It has been shown to provide better silencing efficiencies of various target genes than the human H1 and U6 promoters. Furthermore, the human 7SK promoter can be used in combination with other RNA pol III promoters for multiple shRNA expression strategies [6]. psiRNA-h7SK has been successfully used to achieve gene silencing in vitro and in vivo [3-5].
