Figure 3. Dicer rescue assay in Dicer knockout embryonic stem cells using ‘hDicer-specific helix’ mutants.
(A) Experimental scheme of the Dicer rescue assay.
(B) Sequences of ‘hDicer-specific helix’ mutants. Residues comprising the ‘hDicer-specific helix’ are colored in blue. Mutant residues are in red.
(C) Results of Taqman miRNA qPCR using miR-16 and miR-21 probes (left panel). The plasmids were transfected in two different concentrations (20 μg and 30μg). Western blot showed comparable expression of Dicer (right panel).
