Composite

Part:BBa_K4016021

Designed by: Zhixin Fang   Group: iGEM21_NUDT_CHINA   (2021-10-18)


HA-Trim21-PixD

This composite part is designed to generate GFP degradation with Part:BBa_K4016022 (GFPnano - Pix E) through Pix E-Pix D interaction, GFPnano’s targeting function and Trim21 based ubiquitin-proteasome degradation system.


Usage and Biology

This part only changes Pix E in Part:BBa_K4016019(click to gain more information) to Pix D. We designed this part to interact with Part:BBa_K4016022 (GFPnano - Pix E) .

Figure1. Schematic figure of BBa_K4016021 and BBa_K4016022

  • Here is the mechanism of the system:

In the dark environment:

1.HA-Trim21-PixE connect with PixD-GFPnano through PixE-PixD interaction and forms a complex

2.GFPnano specifically recognize eGFP

3.eGFP is degraded by ubiquitin-proteasome system recruited by Trim21

In the blue light:

1.PixD-PixE dissociate

2.The degradation of eGFP stop because of the lack of trim21.



Characterization

This part was validated through 3 ways: PCR, enzyme digestion and sequencing.

PCR

The PCR is performed with Green Taq Mix by Vazyme.

F-Prime：5-CTAGCGTTTAAACTTAAGCTTGCCACCATGGAGTACCCCTACGACGTGCCCGACTAC-3’

R-Prime：5’-TGGATATCTGCAGAATTCTTAttagaggtcgaggaaaaagttatc-3’

The PCR protocol is selected based on the Users Manuel. The Electrophoresis was performed on a 1% Agarose gel.


Enzyme Digestion

After the assembly the plasmid was transferred into the Competent E. coli DH5α). After culturing overnight in LB,we minipreped the plasmid for cutting. The cutting procedure was performed with Hind III EcoR I restriction endonuclease bought. The plasmid was cutted in a 20μL system at 37 ℃ for 2 hours. The Electrophoresis was performed on a 1％ Agarose glu.

Sequecing

The plasmid was sequenced correct.
