T7-RBS-β-Lactamase-No Signal peptide
This composite part consists of T7 Promoter(BBa_J64997)and T7 Terminator(BBa_K731721), Ribosomal Binding Site(BBa_B0034), CDS of β-lactamase without the signal peptide. β-lactamase (EC 3.5.2.6) is a small monomeric enzyme(29kDa) that is produced by bacteria and gives them resistance to antibiotics with the β-lactam ring because of its ability to hydrolyze the amide bond in the β-lactam ring. This ability can be exploited in order to use β-lactamase as a protein reporter by providing the enzyme with its chromogenic substrate Nitrocefin. Nitrocefin is a chromogenic cephalosporin first reported in 1972 as a novel and straightforward substrate used to detect bacteria resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. Normally, a nitrocefin solution has a yellow color, but after its hydrolysis by β-lactamase, the color of the solution turns red, allowing that way the detection of the enzyme.
Usage and Biology
Documentation
This part was used as a positive control for our in vitro protein synthesis experiments.
In order to test the sensitivity of our regulatory system we performed experiments by adding different concentrations of the trigger and reducing the time of the in vitro protein synthesis reaction. The in vitro transcription/ translation reactions were done using the PURExpress® In Vitro Protein Synthesis kit. A reaction without a trigger sequence was included, as a negative control and a leakage measure. Furthermore, in order to reduce the cost of the reaction, we lowered the reaction volume from 25 to 7 μL.
Firstly, we tested the functionality of our regulatory system by adding the following concentrations of trigger:
• 0.3nM (Fig 2.)
• 3nM (Fig 2.)
• 7nM (Fig 1., Fig 2.)
• 75nM (Fig 1.)
Figure 1. Enzymatic assay of β-lactamase with nitrocefin as its substrate, when expressed from a non-regulated and a toehold-regulated construct in a cell-free system. Error bars correspond to the standard deviation of n=2 replicates. Blank was subtracted. After the 3-hour incubation in the cell-free system, the chromogenic substrate of β-lactamase, nitrocefin, was added and an additional 45-minute enzymatic assay was performed in the plate reader, at 37 ℃.
