pxylS-M5'UTR->sfGFP

Usage and Biology

The promoter pxylS-M5'UTR (with a lab name: XylS-UTR ), tested in a biobrick pxylS-M5'UTR->sfGFP (BBa_K2014004) is a modified xylose-induced promoter/5’UTR controlling sfGFP protein expression. To make it we exchanged the 5’UTR sequence of xylA-proD5'UTR in a biobrick (BBa_K1741009) to a synthetic, unstructured M5’UTR (picture B) derived from the Mel2 promoter (BBa_K1741004), which we provided to iGEM Registry in 2015.

Biobricks used in description:

xylF-xylA - briefly called XylWT (BBa_K1741007)
xylF-xylA-proD5'UTR - briefly called XylA1 (BBa_K1741008)
xylA-proD5'UTR - briefly called XylS (BBa_K1741009)
xylS-M5'UTR - briefly called XylS-UTR (BBa_K2014004)


Figure 1 Synthetic evolution of E. coli xylose induced promoters in our lab up to xylS-UTR. The promoter pxylS-M5'UTR (XylS-UTR) contains only xylA part of E. coli double sided xylose operon promoter, since xylF part appeared to be very weak. The synthetic, unstructured M5’UTR containing a strong, well-positioned RBS slightly enhances the responsiveness of xylA promoter to xylose. Despite that the promoters are stronger, they are still tight (Figure 2.).


Figure 2 Comparison of xylose promoters tightness during overnight time course cultures of E.coli DH5α in 1xLB medium without xylose. Bacteria were transformed with constructs: XylWT (xylF-xylA->sfGFP; BBa_K1741007), XylS (xylA-proD5'UTR; BBa_K1741009), XylS-UTR (xylS-M5'UTR; BBa_K2014004) and XylS-lysozyme (the construct containing non fluorescent protein- lysozyme, under XylS protein), which was used as our background.

A)
The most likely secondary structure that can be folded from the 5’UTR of XylWT promoter. B) The most likely secondary structures of M5’UTR from Mel2 and XylS promoters (BBa_K1741004). The sequence of M5’UTR is designed to minimize the likelihood of secondary structure formation. Structures shown above, were generated by RNAFold (http://rna.tbi.univie.ac.at/cgi-bin/RNAfold.cgi) under the same parameters. RBS sequences are underlined with a green line.

A)
Xylose inducibility of four xyl promoters/UTRs during 6h time course cultures of E.coli<i> DH5α in LB medium containing 0.4% xylose. The efficiency of the improved promoter pxylS-M5'UTR (BBa_K2014004) is slightly higher, than all other versions of xylose responsive promoters we tested, and its induction seems to be faster (see 2h time-point). B) The growth rate of all constructs compared: Xyl-WT (BBa_K1741007), XylA1 (BBa_K1741008), XylS (BBa_K1741009) or XylS-UTR (BBa_K2014004) is very similar. </font>
