Part:BBa_K3286205
Vc2 Riboswitch + sfGFP
This composite part contains the Vc2 riboswitch (BBa_K3286202) [1], which can be (and was) used in combination with composite part BBa_K3286204. The function of this part is that upon DSF sensing from part BBa_K3286204, the levels of c-di-GMP will be decreased in the cell. This results in alleviation of the repression of the Vc2 riboswitch [2], which will result in sfGFP (BBa_K3286203) translation.
Figure 1 is showing the differences between low and high copy number plasmids transformed with this part. We can conclude that transformation with the high copy number plasmid pSB1C3 is causing leaky expression of GFP translation, whereas the low copy number plasmid pSEVA62 is not showing any optical fluorescence. This leaky expression is probably due to the fact that there are too much riboswitch transcriptions present, outcompeting the c-di-GMP, resulting in GFP translation.
In figure 2 the cDNA synthesis of the RNA extracted samples is shown. This cDNA was used as a template in PCR by amplifying GFP with specific primers for this gene. The results from figure 6 indicate that there is cDNA present with transcribed GFP from both the systems, also the positive control showed a band. The negative control showed no GFP presence. The optical fluorescence of this composite part can be visualized in figure 1.
