This device is made up of BBa_K1932000;BBa_K1932001;BBa_K1932004

The device is designed for stable expression of the TAT-Apoptin. Among the subparts, BBa_K1932000 is included to regulate the expression of exogenous protein in Bifidobacterium with a strong promoter. BBa_K1932001 is included to increase the stability of the device in Bifidobacterium. BBa_K1932004 encodes TAT-Apoptin, which acts as the effector protein to kill the cancer cells.

Characterization:

The part of BBa_K1932005 was synthesized and cloned in a pGH vector by Generay Biotechnology. The plasmid was cut by the restriction enzymes, EcoRⅠ and PstⅠ, and separated by 1% agarose gel(Figure 1).

The sequence was ligated into the vector pSB1C3 by T4 ligase at 16℃ overnight, and the ligated construct was transformed into the E.coli(Figure 2). However, we haven't succeeded in inserting the part into the vector, pSB1C3.

The detailed protocols of these experiments were shown in table 1 and table 2.

The device was amplified in the competence bacterium DH5α, and was extracted and purified with the Plasmid Minipreparation Kit from BioTeke. To test the usage of our device in different laboratories, the expression of the protein was examined by the BIT-China with the method of SDS-PAGE (Fig. 3).
