Prhl(RR)_GFP

This part is Prhl(RR) promoter regulating GFP. Prhl(RR) is a promoter that is activated by C4HSL-RhlR complex.
We improved Prhl (BBa_R0071) by changing a LuxR binding site of Plux (BBa_R0062) to a RhlR binding site. (Fig. 1.)
The bottom structures of LuxR and RhlR are similar to each other, so RhlR can also bind to Lux Box. (Fig. 2.)

We constructed this part to characterize the function of the Prhl(RR) promoter (BBa_K1529310), by inserting Prhl(RR) promoter upstream of a GFP coding sequence.

By using reporter cells that contain Prhl(RR)-GFP, we measured the fluorescence intensity of the cells induced by C4HSL.
Through an induction assay, we found that our new Prhl(RL) promoter was actually activated by C4HSL-RhlR complex and had high induced/not-induced ratio(Fig. 3.).
This means Prhl(RL) promoter has the higher expression level while keeping the low leakage.

We can say that Prhl(RL) promoter is the best improved Prhl promoter due to the advantages of less leak and higher expression level.

Contribution: Waseda 2020

For the crosstalk experiments, we constructed two kinds of cell-free translation systems containing substantial amount of R proteins (LuxR,RhlR). In those systems, we put signaling molecules (3OHSL-C4 or 3OHSL-C6) and target genes (Plux/tet-GFP or Prhl-RR-GFP), respectively. We measured the fluorescence of GFP expressed from plux/tet-GFP and prhl(RR)-GFP on a RT-qPCR machine.

Fig 1 shows the result of the crosstalk test in a cell-free system containing sufficient amount of LuxR protein.   In the results, non-cognate Prhl(RR) promter was highly activated by luxR-3OC6HSL complex as well as the cognate Plux/tet promoter. Fig 2 shows the result of the crosstalk test in a cell-free system containing sufficient amount of RhlR protein. As a result, we revealed that Prhl(RR)-GFP can work in vitro.
