Part:BBa_K3136010
B0034-RBS-A
It is a mutation sequence from B0034 RBS, and it is constructed in a typeIIS plasmid. We know that the scar between RBS and coding sequence would effect the protein expression, so we construct several different RBSs to test the expression strength.
Usage and Biology
BBa_K3136010 B0034-RBS-A
All the construction is type IIS standard assembly. The different scar may effect the RBS efficiency for expression.
culture
Material: LB medium (2mL), pSB1K3-RBS-A-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-B-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-D-GFP, pSB1K3-GFP, pSB1K3-LacZ (BBa_K3136014, BBa_K3136015, BBa_K3136017, BBa_K3136007)
1. Take several test tubes and add to 2mL Kan medium respectively.
2. Take the cultured pSB1K3-GFP, pSB1K3-LacZ, pSB1K3-RBS-A-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-B-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-D-GFP, use the needle tip to take a small amount, and put it onto the shaking table.
3. Measure the fluorescence value and the OD value before and after centrifugation.
Results：
In this experiment, RBS (Elowitz 1999) -- defines RBS efficiency is same as pSB1K3-GFP.
Through series of procedures, we have measured the fluorescence value before and after centrifugation (Fig1). The fluorescence of pSB1K3-GFP, pSB1K3-LacZ and pSB1K3-GFP, pSB1K3-LacZ have no differences whatever before or after centrifugation. But after centrifugation, the fluorescence of pSB1K3-RBS-A-GFP and pSB1K3-RBS-B-GFP all increased substantially.
As shown in Fig2, the OD value of all samples before centrifugation was always lower than after centrifugation. Without the background interference of OD value, we can see the results clearly(Fig3). The fluorescence of pSB1K3-GFP hardly changed. It demonstrated that pSB1K3-GFP expressed a little. The intensity of RBS site in pSB1K3-GFP was weak.
(1) Protein Electrophoresis
Material: pSB1K3-LacZ, pSB1K3-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-A-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-B-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-D-GFP, loading solution (6 μL), deionized water (1000 μL), marker solution, Coomassie brilliant blue dye. Note: pSB1K3-LacZ, pSB1K3-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-A-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-B-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-D-GFP are used for collaboration with the team Shanghai_HS_United, and these plasmids were expression in strain E. coli DH10B.
1. Add 24 μL pSB1K3-LacZ, pSB1K3-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-A-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-B-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-D-GFP, to 1.5mL tube respectively, and then add 6 μL loading.
2. Add 500 μL deionized water and centrifuge the tubes respectively.
3. Add another 500 μL deionized water, blow and suspend the solution.
4. Put the tubes 99℃ water for 15 minutes.
5. After heating, centrifuge the tubes for 5min.
6. Take and install the gel, add the electrophoresis buffer to the sample hole, and check if there is any leakage. Add marker, to the first and last sample holes, add pSB1K3-LacZ,pSB1K3-GFP and pSB1K3-RBS-A-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-B-GFP, pSB1K3-RBS-D-GFP, MG1655 bpul, DH10B bpul, BL21(DE3) bpul to the other sample holes, respectively.
7. Connect the electrophoresis device to the power supply. Connect the positive electrode to the tank and the negative electrode to the slot for electrophoresis. The voltage is adjusted to 160V.
8. Turn off the power supply and disconnect the electrode until the bromophenol blue reaches the bottom of the release adhesive. Remove the glass sheet from the electrophoresis device and then remove the gel.
9. Soak the gel in Coomassie brilliant blue dye and dye it in a horizontal shaking bed for 15 min.
Observe the protein bands.
We can see that the lane of pSB1K3-GFP have no band(Fig4) at the location of GFP. It has been showed a low expression of pSB1K3-GFP and a feeble intensity of the RBS. Thus, the intensity of RBS was very important for the expression of proteins. The higher the intensity of RBS was, the more proteins expressed.
