Csy4-16nt interaction estimation device

In this device, we tested the interaction between csy4 and its 16-nt cleavage site in vivo to be a supplementary experiment for the Rachel E. Huarwitz et al, and Lei Qi et al's previous work.

Background


Csy4 is a member of CRISPR pathway discovered in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is a single endoRNase that recognizes and cleaves a 28-nucleotide repetitive sequence and produces stable transcripts with a 5’hydroxylgroup, which can eliminate unwanted interactions between 5’UTRs and translational elements such as RBSs units to standardize the expression of the elements. ( Lei Qi et al, 2012).The cleavage site can be curtailed to 16nt proved by in vitro data (Rachel E. Huarwitz et al, 2010)

The CRISPR RNA-processing system facilitate engineering of standard genetic elements in various contexts( Lei Qi et al, 2012).

Design


We introduced the csy4 platform and its cleavage platform onto one plasmid as followed: pSB1C3-BBa_R0040-16nt-BBa_B0034-Csy4-BBa_B0015-BBa_R0063-16nt-BBa_B0034-sfGFP, in order to let the csy4 express to recognize and cleave the 16-nucleotide sequence.
