GPPS-MS regulated by pTac

use pTac promotor (BBa_K3595003),strong RBS (BBa_B0034) , RiboJ(BBa_K2615996), coding sequence GPPS(BBa_K3595016), coding sequence MS(BBa_K3595015) and terminator(BBa_B0010) ,will generate GGP and MS in case of IPTG.

Usage and Biology

This composite part can be expressed downstream of the promoter pTac in the presence of IPTG. We constructed plasmids pBR322-KanR-pTac-GPPS-MS. The constructed plasmid was cotransferred into E.coli DH10b host cell with plasimd pMevT, pMBIS to test its production of myrcene.

The structure of the plasmid pBR322-KanR-pTac-GPPS-MS

Experimental Setup

• Genetic information of MS,GPPS was described in the page Part:BBa_K3595015, Part:BBa_K3595014,respectively.
• Plasmid pBR322-KanR-pTac-GPPS-MS,pMevT and pMBIS were cotransferred into the E.coli DH10b competent cell .
• Single colonies were selected from the experimental LB-agar plate with antibiotics, then inoculated into test-tube tubes with

2 ml M9 medium with 0.1 mM IPTG and 1% glucose, in 37 degree Celsius overnight. 20% dodecane (v/v) was added to collect the myrcene produced by DH10b.

• After the centrifugation (12000rpm for a minute), the dodecane layer was collected to test the production of myrcene.

Results

• E.coli DH10b with plasmids pMevT, pMBIS, and pTYT-GPPS-MS could produce myrcene, but in relatively low productivity compared to the previous research.
