These results appear to indicate that the EYFP was successfully transported to the outer membrane; this region is the main source of fluorescence in the INP-EYFP tube. By contrast, the control tube has much more EYFP present in the cytoplasm.

Our project used surface display system, and we choose this part to construct the INP-mediated surface display system for our interest protein.  While testing the surface display efficiency of this part, we found that the fluorescence intensity was too weak both under the uv-light(adjusted to the same OD<sub>600</sub>)(Fig.2, middle) and under the super resolution microscope(Fig.3, middle).

Plac + INP-EYFP

Edinburgh-INP-YFP-cells.jpg

Fusion of Ice Nucleation Protein (INP) and Enhanced Yellow Fluorescent Protein (EYFP) under the control of the Lac promoter.

Constructed using the BioSandwich protocol of Edinburgh 2011.

Usage and Biology

Cells expressing this construct are shown on the right. The cells fluoresce yellow under blue light. The INP should carry the EYFP to the outer membrane of E. coli. Our imaging technology was not good enough to confirm this, so we attempted to prove it by other means...


Fractionation experiment

We (Edinburgh 2011) centrifuged cells expressing BBa_K523013 so that the membrane fraction became localised to the bottom of the tube, and compared the fluorescence pattern with a control where EYFP was not fused to INP.

Control on left. INP-EYFP on right.     The same image passed through GIMP's auto white balance filter.

These results appear to indicate that the EYFP was successfully transported to the outer membrane; this region is the main source of fluorescence in the INP-EYFP tube. By contrast, the control tube has much more EYFP present in the cytoplasm.

More Characterization

Take a look at the experience part where you can find further Characterisations done by the iGEM13_EPF_Lausanne Team.

Improvement by BJRS_China 2018

Our project used surface display system, and we choose this part to construct the INP-mediated surface display system for our interest protein. While testing the surface display efficiency of this part, we found that the fluorescence intensity was too weak both under the uv-light(adjusted to the same OD600)(Fig.2, middle) and under the super resolution microscope(Fig.3, middle).

To characterize the surface display efficiency of INP better, we added a strong promoter J23104 and RBS B0032 to the upstream of INP, and changed the YFP to sfGFP, to construct our parts BBa_K2833009(Fig.1).

We also conducted the cell lysis experiment to observe the distribution of GFP(figure 4). We firstly adjusted the OD600 of all the interest overnight cultured bacteria to 1.0 and then lysed the cells using Ultrasonic Cell Disruptor. The results showed that after cell lysis followed by centrifuge, both the precipitation and supernatant shows relative strong fluorescence signal in intracellular expressing GFP bacteria(figure 4B, middle), while the signal was stronger in supernatant than in precipitation in BBa_K2833009 transformed bacteria(figure 4B, right).To further confirm this result, we removed the supernatant and observed that the signal in BBa_K2833009 transformed bacteria fragments was stronger than the GFP intracellular expressed ones(figure 4C). This suggests that the surface displayed GFP were anchored to the outer membrane and being precipitated with the cell fragment, while the intracellular expressed GFP were solved in the supernatant.

Functional Parameters



Functional Parameters: Austin_UTexas

Burden Imposed by this Part:

Burden Value: 18.3 ± 8.8%

Burden is the percent reduction in the growth rate of E. coli cells transformed with a plasmid containing this BioBrick (± values are 95% confidence limits). This part exhibited a significant burden. Users should be aware that BioBricks with a burden of >20-30% may be susceptible to mutating to become less functional or nonfunctional as an evolutionary consequence of this fitness cost. This risk increases as they used for more bacterial cell divisions or in larger cultures. Users should be especially careful when combining multiple burdensome parts, as plasmids with a total burden of >40% are expected to mutate so quickly that they become unclonable. Refer to any one of the BBa_K3174002 - BBa_K3174007 pages for more information on the methods and other conclusions from a large-scale measurement project conducted by the 2019 Austin_UTexas team.

This functional parameter was added by the 2020 Austin_UTexas team.
