tdBroccoli
This part is a RNA reporter that can be used to measure promoter activity directly. It contains the light-up RNA Aptamer [http://doi.org/10.1021/ja508478x dimeric Broccoli]in the human tRNALys3 scaffold. This biobrick is an improvement from K1330000, which is brighter than the original design.
Usage and Biology
The Spinach aptamer and its derivatives allow the docking of fluorogen 3,5-difluoro-4-hydroxybenzylidene imidazolinone (DFHBI) and increases its quantum yields by hundreds of folds. By surrounding it with a tRNA scaffold, its folding in cell can be enhanced and its expression level can be stabilized.
Characterization
This aptamer can be expressed in E. coli DH5a under a constitutive lpp promoter. Comparing the 3 RNA reporters we constructed and the pre-existed Spinach2.1, tdBroccoli is moderately brighter.
