Applications of BBa_K1154001
We decreased the transcription initiation activity of the promoter and changed the sequence of Pfus
BBa_K2368029
Introduction
Pfus(2 Ste12 binding sites)
General
The original Pfus (BBa_K1154001) is 201bp long with three Ste12 binding sites, and the Ste12 is Pfus’s transcriptional activator in the endogenous GPCR pathways of yeast.
Fig.1 The sequence of original Pfus
In order to decrease the transcription initiation activity of the promoter, we used the method of one-step mutation to remove a binding sites. (from tgaaaca to ggacac)
Fig.2 Sequencing result of original Pfus and mutant Pfus
After the modified promoter assembling into the [http://2017.igem.org/Team:BIT-China/Project/#Detection detection circuit], we added 5umol/L α pheromone to detect it, and the result is shown in Fig.3.
Fig.3 The mRFP intensity of two kinds of promoters
The intensity of modified promoter was about 35% of the wild type, which did match with our expectation. We got the new Pfus with different transcription initiation activity. With different promoters, we can apply them in the regulation subsystem according to various situations or wide-ranging needs.
But from another point of view, still, we got the new Pfus with different transcription initiation activity. With different promoters, we can apply them in the regulation subsystem according to various situations or wide-ranging needs.

Pfus(4 Ste12 binding sites)
General
The original Pfus (BBa_K1154001) is 201bp long with three Ste12 binding sites, and the Ste12 is Pfus’s transcriptional activator in the endogenous GPCR pathways of yeast.
Fig.1 The sequence of original Pfus
In order to enhance the transcription initiation activity of the promoter, we add additional one binding site(gatgaaacaa) in the front of the promoter.
Fig.2 Sequencing result of original Pfus and mutant Pfus
After the modified promoter assembling into the [http://2017.igem.org/Team:BIT-China/Project/#Detection detection circuit], we added 5umol/L α pheromone to detect it, and the result is shown in Fig.3.
Fig.3 The mRFP intensity of two kinds of promoters
The intensity of modified promoter was about 1/3 of the wild type, which didn’t match with our expectation. According to Ting-Cheng Su’s[1] result, there were serious limitations in Ste12 multimers identifying Ste12 binding sites. So when we changed the structure of Pfus, the steric hindrance of Ste12 may increases and Ste12 couldn’t combine the promoter as smoothly as before.
But from another point of view, still, we got the new Pfus with different transcription initiation activity. With different promoters, we can apply them in the regulation subsystem according to various situations or wide-ranging needs.

Pfus(6 Ste12 binding sites)
General
The original Pfus (BBa_K1154001) is 201bp long with three STE12 binding sites, and the STE12 is Pfus ’s transcriptional activator in the endogenous GPCR pathways of yeast.
Fig.1 The sequence of original Pfus
In order to enhance the transcription initiation activity of the promoter, we added additional three binding sites (gatgaaacaaacatgtct gtaatttgaaacacgcgctgtctca) in the front of the promoter.
Fig.2 Sequencing result of original Pfus and mutant Pfus
After the modified promoter assembling into the [http://2017.igem.org/Team:BIT-China/Project/#Detection detection circuit], we added 5umol/L α pheromone to detect it, and the result is shown in Fig.3.
Fig.3 The mRFP intensity of two kinds of promoters
The intensity of modified promoter was about 1/2 of the wild type, which didn’t match with our expectation. According to Ting-Cheng Su’s[1] result, there were serious limitations in Ste12 multimers identifying Ste12 binding sites. So when we changed the structure of Pfus , the steric hindrance of Ste12 may increases and Ste12 couldn’t combine the promoter as smoothly as before.
But from another point of view, still, we got the new Pfus with different transcription initiation activity. With different promoters, we can apply them in the regulation subsystem according to various situations or wide-ranging needs.
