XRE-pMEL1-NanoLuc reporter module
The XRE-pMEL1-NanoLuc reporter module is a component of the AhR (Aryl hydrocarbon receptor) biosensor device, designed to detect and report the presence of environmental toxins, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) upon ligand-induced binding of AhR-ARNT heterodimer to Xenobiotic response element (XRE) (1) (2). In this module, the XRE was used upstream of the pMEL1 promoter that drives the expression of the NanoLuc reporter gene.
The pUUS plasmid is a multi-copy plasmid used in yeast, carrying a URA3 marker for selection in uracil auxotrophic strains. In the system, pUUS was utilized in the reporter module, enabling the expression of the reporter gene, NanoLuc BBa_K1680009. This composite part was used in these devices: BBa_K5477041 and BBa_K5477042.
