lacI-Ptrc-tRNA(Arg)

The tRNA(Arg) is under the control of promoter trc. tRNA(Arg) expression is induced by 0.5mM IPTG when the OD600 of the culture reaches 0.3.

Design

In this part we have overexpressed rare tRNAArg-AGG in the cell. The rare tRNA can recognize AGG codon on the mRNA.

tRNAArg-AGG(BBa_K567001): tRNAArg-AGG is over expressed under the control of trc promoter (induced by IPTG).

This rare tRNAArg can be charged with Arg by native Arginyl-tRNA Synthetase(ArgRS) in E.coli.

Over expressed tRNA(Arg)-AGG is charged by native Arginyl-tRNA Synthetase(ArgRS)

RFP-6AGG(BBa_K567017): we have inserted 6 AGG codons after the start codon ATG in the RFP gene.

6AGG codons are inserted after the start codon ATG in the reporter gene

Action

When rare tRNAArg-AGG is not over-expressed, RFP expression is hindered. When tRNAArg-AGG is over-expressed, this tRNA can recognize the AGG codon on the mRNA so a large amount of RFP is produced.

Result

Fig.1 Confocal Microscope examining RFP expression. RFP has been largely produced in cells overexpressing tRNAArg-AGG.
Fig.2 Cells over-expressing tRNAArg-AGG emit bright red fluorescence as wild type RFP (first one from the left). Control (first one from the right) exhibits no red fluorescence.

RFP has been largely produced in cells overexpressing tRNAArg. No RFP can be observed in cells without rare tRNA overexpression.

We have successfully controlled protein expression by controlling rare tRNA amount.
