Part:BBa_K2259049

Constitutive beta-neomycin device (SynORI framework)

This composite part has a constant expression of amino 3'-glycosyl phosphotransferase (APH(3')) – a protein granting the resistance to aminoglycoside family antibiotics - Beta subunit Part:BBa_K2259019.

It is used in conjunction with with the alpha subunit Part:BBa_K2259018 to produce 2 and 3 plasmid selection genetic circuit.

Introduction

Biology

Aminoglycoside-3'-phosphotransferase (APH(3')), sometimes called aminoglycoside kinase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the addition of phosphoryl group from ATP to the 3'-hydroxyl group of a 4,6-disubstituted aminoglycoside, such as kanamycin, neomycin.

If both alpha and beta DNA sequences are transcribed and translated in the cell, they can combine and form a fully functional antibiotic resistance protein.

Results

2 vectors with constant expression of alpha and beta subunits were co-transformed into TG1 competent cells and plated on agar with kanamycin antibiotic

Usage with SynORI (Framework for multi-plasmid systems)

About SynORI

SynORI is a framework for multi-plasmid systems created by Vilnius-Lithuania 2017 which enables quick and easy workflow with multiple plasmids, while also allowing to freely pick and modulate copy number for every unique plasmid group!

Split antibiotic resistance in SynORI

Split antibiotic coding gene, together with toehold switches and their corresponding RNA triggers completes the dynamic SynORI selection system. The switches lock the translation of downstream split antibiotic genes and form an AND type gate genetic circuit which functions to stably maintain multiple plasmids in the SynORI collection.

SynORI selection gene circuits for multi-plasmid systems:

• 2 plasmids

Consisting of: : Two split antibiotic genes (part:BBa_K2259018 and part:BBa_K2259019)

• 3 plasmids

Consisting of: One Toehold (part:BBa_K2259014 or part:BBa_K2259015), one Trigger RNA (part:BBa_K2259016 or part:BBa_K2259017) and split neomycin antibiotic resistance genes (part:BBa_K2259018 and part:BBa_K2259019).

• 4 plasmids

Consisting of: Two Toeholds (part:BBa_K2259014 and part:BBa_K2259015), two Trigger RNAs (part:BBa_K2259016 and part:BBa_K2259017) and split neomycin antibiotic resistance genes (part:BBa_K2259018 and part:BBa_K2259019).

• 5 plasmids

Consisting of: Modified phage control system part:BBa_K2259044, two Toeholds (part:BBa_K2259014 and part:BBa_K2259015), two repressed Trigger RNAs (part:BBa_K2259042 and part:BBa_K2259043) and split neomycin antibiotic resistance genes (part:BBa_K2259018 and part:BBa_K2259019).
