A composite part to express Tyr1 induced by IPTG
Description
In this part, the gene of Tyr1 is added to promoter pTac-RBS.
Tyr gene provides instructions for making enzyme tyrosinase, which is located in melanocytes in our skin. Melanocytes are responsible for producing melanin. Melanin is responsible for giving our skin and hair color. It includes eumelanin and pheomelanin. Eumelanin usually shows darker color than pheomelanin. As shown below, tyrosinase is responsible for the first step in melanin production.
Tyrosine is one of the 20 standard amino acids present in the body and is used by cells to synthesize proteins. This is a non-essential amino acid, meaning that it is also synthesized by the body when it is not only ingested from the diet. Tyrosine is found in casein, a protein in milk and other milk-based products (like cheese). Tyrosine is also present in non-dairy foods that are aged, including some types of meats and red wine.
Experiments & Results
Successful production in E.coli BL21(DE3) and Vibrio natriegens
We constructed the plasmid pTac-Tyr1 and successfully transformed the plasmid into E. coli BL21(DE3) and Vibrio natriegens ATCC 14048. We added 2.5 mg L-DOPA and 0.4 mg L-Tyrosine as the substrates and added 0.1 mM IPTG for induction. The bacteria were cultured at 220 rpm, at 37℃. The result shows that melanin was produced. However, the effect of the promoter was not as good as the constitutive promoter J23102.
