There are two binding sites (BRH1, BRH2) of hxlR, which are necessary for formaldehyde induced expression. Through in vitro experiments, the higher the concentration of hxlR, the stronger the reaction intensity of the binding. Therefore, we enhanced the expression of hxlR to improve the sensitivity of formaldehyde promoter. J23100 is used in the formaldehyde_derivative-1 promoter to express the hxlR, as opposed to weak promoter on the registry formaldehyde promoter (BBa_ K1334002)

Formaldehyde_derivative-1 promoter

An improvement of BBa_K1334002 by replacing weak promoter with strong promoter BBa_J23100 to make it be more sensitive to formaldehyde than BBa_K1334002.

Usage and Biology

As a DNA binding protein, hxlR serves as a transcriptional activator of the hxlAB operon from Bacillus subtilis. The formaldehyde changes the conformation of hxlR, stimulating RNA polymerase to open the transcription.

It is reported that the reaction intensity of complex binding becomes stronger and stronger with the increasing of the concentration of hxlR.Therefore, we enhanced the expression of hxlR to improve the sensitivity of formaldehyde promoter. The strong promoter BBa_J23100 is used in the formaldehyde_derivative-1 promoter to replace the weak promoter to express hxlR.

Fig 1. Different improvements of formaldehyde promoter.

Characterization

We use ECFP as the reporter gene to characterize the improvement.

The agarose gel electrophoresis images are below：

Protocol:

Part one: to the compare the strength of weak promoter on the registry formaldehyde promoter (BBa_K1334002) and J23100

1.Culture glycerol bacteria containing the corresponding plasmid in test tube for 12h.

2.Add 4 mL of the above bacterial solution into 200 mL LB medium and maintain the culture condition at 37 ℃ and 180 rpm.

3.Measure the fluorescence intensity (GFP) and corresponding OD600 , then calculate the fluorescence / OD value of each group.

Part two: to the compare the sensitivity to formaldehyde of formaldehyde_derivative-1 promoter and formaldehyde promoter (BBa_K1334002)

1.Culture glycerol bacteria containing the corresponding plasmid in test tube for 12h.

2.Add 4 mL of the above bacterial solution into 200 mL LB medium and maintain the culture condition at 37 ℃ and 180 rpm.

3.Add 0.8 mM formaldehyde into each group when OD600 increased to 0.6 and the culture condition is the same as before.

4.Then, sampling culture in 96-well plate reader every 3 hours to measure the fluorescence intensity (ECFP) and corresponding OD600 , then calculate the fluorescence / OD value of each group.

Here is the result:

note: Weak promoter is the promoter on the registry formaldehyde promoter (BBa_K1334002).

Fig 4 The curve of fluorescence intensity (ECFP) /OD by pHCHO (BBa_K1334002) and formaldehyde_derivative-1 promoter.

In the former figure, we can see that the strong promoter BBa_J23100 group has a higher relative fluorescence intensity than the weak promoter in the registry formaldehyde promoter group, and in the latter figure, we can compare formaldehyde_derivative-1 promoter with the other two derivative promoters. And we can conclude from the latter figure that formaldehyde_derivative-1 promoter is more sensitive to formaldehyde than the registry formaldehyde promoter. So replacing weak promoter with strong promoter BBa_J23100 is an effective way to improve formaldehyde promoter.
