pTrc-2

A promoter derived from pTrc-2 promoter can be strongly repressed by LacI protein. Ptrc-2 promoter has one lac operator, which means that it has less LacI binding sites so that LacI has a weak inhibitory effect on it.

Usage and Biology

pTrc-2 promoter is used to express mf-lon and MazF in the absence of aTc so as to inhibit the growth of E.coli. It is part of the circut designed to prevent engineered bacteria in the detection instrument from escaping. In this circuit, LacI can repress ptrc-2 promoter and ptrc-2 derived promoter while the LacI can repress the pLtetO-1 promoter. When the aTc exits, it can combine tetR, so that the pLtetO-1 promoter can’t be repressed. Then the LacI which is controlled by the pLtetO-1 can repress the ptrc-2 promoter and ptrc-2 derived promoter. As a result, mf-lon and mazF can’t be expressed. As a kind of bacterial toxin, mazF can cause the bacteria death. So there comes the conclusion that as long as the engineered E.coli are cultured in the environment with aTc, it won’t be killed by the mazF, but when the bacteria escape from our testing instrument, the effect can be reversed, that is to say, the bacteria will be killed by the mazF. In the same way, we can conclude that in the presence of IPTG, MazF can be expressed to cause bacterial death.

Fig.6 Fluorescence intensity/OD600 for induction and non-induction group (6 hours). Data are collected and analyzed according to iGEM standard data analysis form after 6 hours of induction.

The strength of pTrc2-derivative and pTrc2 are contrasted. In the figure below, pTrc2-derivative are used as the negative control group, the pTrc2-derivative are used as the positive control group while the pLtetO-1-LacI-pTrc2-E0420 (tetR) and pLtetO-1-LacI-pTrc2-derivative-E0420(tetR) are both experience group. We can see, after adding IPTG to induce the two promoters, the fluorescence intensity are both improved and the pLtetO-1-LacI-pTrc2-E0420 (tetR) group the difference of fluorescence intensity is smaller than the pLtetO-1-LacI-pTrc2-derivative-E0420(tetR) group so we can confirm that the LacI has a weak inhibitory effect on pTrc-2 promoter. That’s why after adding IPTG, the fluorescence intensity of pLtetO-1-LacI-pTrc2-E0420 (tetR) group increases faster.

From this figure, the induction effect can be seen more intuitively.
