39C Temperature-Sensitive mScarlet-I pdt#3

39C Temperature-Sensitive mScarlet-I pdt#3. Components: J23107 TPL + ptlpA b0034m mScarlet-I pdt#3

Mechanics

J23107, a medium-weak constitutive promoter, constitutively expresses TlpA39. Unlike the original TlpA, TlpA39 undergoes a conformational change at 39C and loses its ability to bind the downstream pTlpA. Therefore, TlpA39 halts its repression of pTlpA at temperatures above 39C, inducing the expression of the rapidly-maturing mScarlet-I. The mScarlet-I in this circuit has a pdt degradation tag, allowing for degradation by the mf-Lon protease. Specifically, this circuit contains pdt#3, the strongest degradation tag from part series K2333401-K2333406. To view a figure that displays the degradation rates of mScarlet-I with various pdt tags (relative to untagged mScarlet-I), see BBa_K2680251.

As an IFFL

In this circuit, heat activates a reporter, mScarlet-I. In a complete IFFL (incoherent feed forward loop), an input must activate both a reporter and its inhibitor. Therefore, this circuit requires mf-Lon (or a different inhibitor of mScarlet-I) to act as an IFFL.

Characterization

When combined with BBa_K2680058 (pTLPA mf-lon), it appears that the expression of mf-lon is way too strong for the amount of mscarlet-I produced by BBa_K2680062, resulting in a decrease in fluorescence levels as compared to initial expression.

When combined with BBa_K2680059 (pTLPA mf-lon-ssra), the amount of mf-lon produced still appears to be a bit too much for the amount of mscarlet-I produced, resulting in stagnant fluorescence levels.

When combined with BBa_K2680060(pTLPAr mf-lon), the amount of mf-lon expressed now appears to be too low as compared to the amount of mscarelt-I produced by BBa_K2680062, as the levels of fluorescence begin to increase exponentially.
