Toehold Bois Noir 2.1 (from team EPFL 2019) expression casette with mRFP

Toehold switches are RNA tools used for the detection of a sequence of interest. They're composed of four main parts: the first part is located at the beginning of the toehold and it is complementary to a given sequence of interest also called trigger; next, there is a hairpin-like sequence, which hides an RBS and start codon; subsequently, at the end of the hairpin, a linker sequence is used as a spacer before the next component; finally, a coding sequence for a reporter gene of choice is added after the toehold design. This toehold is functional at a temperature of 37°C for the detection of Candidatus phytoplasma solani (PlsC gene).

This cassette expression is regulated by a T7 promoter and expresses a monomeric red fluorescent protein when the toehold interacts with its corresponding trigger sequence.
