Composite

Part:BBa_K4179010

Designed by: Yasmin Habib   Group: iGEM22_Technion-Israel   (2022-10-05)


UDT under Rhlr promoter + P2A + mCherry reporter

This composite part comprises of UDT gene (BBa_K4179007), under the rhlr-regulated promoter (BBa_R0071). Downstream to UDT there is a P2A sequence (BBa_K4179005), which is a self-cleavage element that induces ribosomal skipping during translation of a protein inside the cell. Downstream to which there is an mCherry (BBa_K106005) reporter gene, and an rrnB terminator sequence (BBa_K4047025).

Usage and Biology

In this genetic system, the mCherry expression is tied directly to the start codon of UDT, while not being covalently bound to it. In such a design the mCherry signal corresponds to a 1:1 ratio, at the very least, which allows for a lower estimate of UDT's expression.

UDT enzyme is the first enzyme in the decursin biosynthesis pathway, which the team of Technion 2022 was attempting to clone into a bacterial system. For more information about the UDT enzyme, visit its page in the registry (BBa_K4179007), or visit the team’s wiki page.


The team used this sequence in the rhlr-tdpp7-m/cherry plasmid, which already holds the rhlr gene.
