Our project seeks to design recombinant bacteria that specifically target and suppress the growth of colorectal carcinoma cells in a controllable way. Our proposed solution for the targeting issue requires the phage display peptide ‘RPMrel’ (see [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1550331/pdf/neo0505_0437.pdf this]) to be expressed on the surface of the bacterial vector in order for it to bind preferentially to colorectal cancer cells. Note that this construct was designed for expression in ''Bacillus subtilis''.

Purpose & Intended Function

Our project seeks to design recombinant bacteria that specifically target and suppress the growth of colorectal carcinoma cells in a controllable way. Our proposed solution for the targeting issue requires the phage display peptide ‘RPMrel’ (see [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1550331/pdf/neo0505_0437.pdf this]) to be expressed on the surface of the bacterial vector in order for it to bind preferentially to colorectal cancer cells. Note that this construct was designed for expression in Bacillus subtilis.

This purpose is facilitated by designing this construct to strongly express RPMrel covalently linked via helical linker to the cell wall binding domain of the B. subtilis LytC protein (a cell wall hydrolase). LytC's cell wall binding domain coding region was isolated from the code for its catalytic site by the Imperial College London’s 2010 team (see their part here).

To facilitate imaging of the recombinant bacteria during characterization of binding ability (see below), a GFP reporter construct was ligated to the binding module for expression under the same promoter. When washing fixed colorectal cancer cells with the recombinant bacteria the position of the bacteria can be identified. The reporter gene also simplified this part’s construction.


Subpart Description

Pveg promoter. A high expression constitutive promoter for B. subtilis also shown to function in Escherichia coli (useful property for any team intending to construct using E. coli). This part was engineered for high expression and originally submitted by Imperial College London’s 2008 team (see their part page here).

spoVG (RBS). An endogenous B. subtilis RBS. Natural function is expression of the spoVG gene product, which functions in sporulation initiation control (see this).

LytC (hydrolase cell wall binding domain). 2-954bp {check this} region of the 1491bp coding sequence of the LytC protein. Isolated and submitted as a BioBrick by Imperial College London’s 2010 team (details here).

(EAAAK)n type helical linker. Stiff, long helical linker designed to separate fusion proteins with minimal disturbance to the function of both proteins. Features distinct 6 amino acid short linker sequence (SRGSRA) at N-terminal. This sequence was included in construction of the recombinant fusion protein LytC - 3xFLAG by [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC262103/pdf/0628.pdf Yamamoto et al (2003)] to allow localization of the LytC protein on the cell wall.

RPMrel peptide. 9 amino acid heptapeptide screened out of NEB’s Ph.D.-C7C phage display library (see [http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/products/producte8100.asp this]) for preferential binding to poorly-differentiated colon carcinoma cells.

B. subtilis Consensus RBS. Sequence contains the Shine-Dalgarno sequence complementary to the 3' end of 16S ribosomal RNA in B. subtilis.

GFP. Sequence for expression of the reporter gene GFPmut3b confers the ability to generate green fluorescence with emission at wavelength 511nm (find part here). GFPmut3b is a mutated variant of wild type GFP featuring 2 amino acid substitutions for enhanced fluorescence (see [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC106249/pdf/am001902.pdf this]).

Double terminator. Reliable termination sequence codes mRNA that forms 3 hairpins. See part here.
