FliC

FliC encodes the major flagellar protein of E. coli and is thus fundamental to motility.


Figure 1 shows this biobrick used in conjunction with various promoters and ribosome binding sites to restore swimming in fliC knockout strains. This data is also shown as a histogram in Figure 2. These show that, with an appropriate promoter and RBS, this biobrick can restore swimming to almost wild-type levels.


We sequenced our fliC biobrick and found that it had the expected sequence, identical to fliC of the sequenced E. coli strain MG1655 at all positions except for the changes we had made to remove three PstI sites and one SpeI site. However, there were two coding differences between our biobrick and a previous fliC biobrick in the parts registry K777109. These differences are due to different source strains (We used MG1655 genomic DNA, they used E. coli strain K-12 substr. DH10B). It is unclear if these nonsynonymous changes alter flagella formation.

Flic Motility Histogram

GU_Figure_2_Motility_histogram.png
Figure 2 - FliC Motility Histogram The promoters indicated in the histogram were used to drive the fliC biobrick K1463600 with the RBS B0034. Plasmids containing these constructs were used to complement a chromosomal fliC mutation. The diameter of swimming in a 16 hour swarm assay at 37 degrees is shown. The error bars indicate the range or results obtained in two repeats of the experiment. The strong J23100 promoter in this result contained a mutation rendering it inactive see K1463604.
