LBT（lanthanide binding tag） is a kind of protein which can bind with the lanthanide ions. We exchange the Fe3+ binding site in pmrB system with LBT. Then the whole sensing system from Salmonella can sense the concentration of lanthanide ions nearby. When the concentration of lanthanide ions reach the threshold, the lanthanide can be bound with LBT. Then the pmrB will activate pmrA by phosphorylating it. Phosphorylated PmrA is going to activate promoter pmrC in next step. In the end, GFP behind pmrC will be expressed. You can get the relative concentration of lanthanide according to the fluorescence intensity.

We designed 12 LBT to exchange the iron ion binding site, because we aim to test their binding force to select the most sensitive system. As we didn’t have enough time, we couldn’t let all the 12 LBT be exchanged successfully. After competition of this year, HUST-China will get other LBTs exchanged to form the whole system. If we make it, we will link the sensing part and capture part to form the whole circuit which can sense the concentration of lanthanide ions and capture the lanthanide ions right after it. When our engineering bacteria finish their task, they can be recycle by silicon board.

PmrA-PmrB(LBT5)-PmrC-GFP

The sensing part of our circuit. LBT will be a part of membrane protein pmrB. The lanthanon can be bound with LBT. Then pmrA will be phosphorylated and activate pmrC. In the end, GFP behind pmrC will be expressed.

Usage and biology

LBT（lanthanide binding tag） is a kind of protein which can bind with the lanthanide ions. We exchange the Fe3+ binding site in pmrB system with LBT9. Then the whole sensing system from Salmonella can sense the concentration of lanthanide ions nearby. When the concentration of lanthanide ions reach the threshold, the lanthanide can be bound with LBT9. Then the pmrB will activate pmrA by phosphorylating it. Phosphorylated PmrA is going to activate promoter pmrC in next step. In the end, GFP behind pmrC will be expressed. You can get the relative concentration of lanthanide according to the fluorescence intensity. Sequence and Features

Characterization

This is a part for sensing part. LBT9 can bind the lanthanide ions and excite fluorescence by the sensing system, which can show the concentration of lanthanide. In our experiment, we let the engineering bacterium express GFP, which means that the lanthanide ions in the water can be sensed.

Improvement

We designed 12 LBTs to exchange the iron ion binding site, because we aim to test their binding force to select the most sensitive system. As we didn’t have enough time, we couldn’t let all the 12 LBTs be exchanged successfully. After competition of this year, HUST-China will get other LBTs exchanged to form the whole system. If we make it, we will link the sensing part and capture part to form the whole circuit which can sense the concentration of lanthanide ions and capture the lanthanide ions right after it. When our engineering bacteria finish their task, they can be recycle by silicon board.
