To test whether the GFP levels can be tuned and continuously regulated with rapamycin, co-transfection of a EGFP expressing plasmid and Predator Pro system were performed. It is shown that there was a significantly decrease in GFP fluorescence (Fig 2A). As is shown in the results, GFP was significantly degraded to about 13% of the original level with the appearance of GFP-nano and HA-Trim, which confirmed that GFP Predator could be used to degrade target protein with high efficiency (Figure 2B). Furthermore, it can be observed that as the concentration of rapamycin increases, the degradation effect becomes more obvious(Figure 2C).

GFPnano-FKBP-P2A-Trim21-FRB

CMV->Kozak->GFPnano->FKBP->P2A->Truncated TRIM21->FRB->BGH-pA

This part is designed to demonstrate a small molecule induced target protein degradation with the Predator Pro system. Herein, FRB-FKBP pairs were used to mediate the rapamycin induced trimerization of truncated Trim21, GFP nanobody and target protein EGFP.

Usage and Biology

Our composite part BBa_K3396010 demonstrates how the Predator Pro system works. It regulates the target protein (EGFP) degradation under the control of external rapamycin signal. As a functional improvement of the existing Part (BBa_K2653016), which degrades EGFP constitutively, this new part provides new interface for external signal control.

The PRYSPRY-lgG Fc interaction of BBa_K2653016 is replaced with FRB-FKBP interaction to realize controlling of both initiation and rate of the degradation. FRB and FKBP are proteins which bind with each other under induction of rapamycin. By administrating rapamycin, FRB-FKBP dimerization would trigger the formation of EGFP-GFPnano-trunctaed_Trim21 trimer, in which the truncated Trim21 would mediate the ubiquitylation and degradation of EGFP protein.

Characterization

This composite part can achieve ubiquitination of target protein. To verify whether it worked, we did a test of it.

Method

Both BBa_K3396010 containing plasmid and EGFP expressing plasmid were transfected into 293T cells as experimental group. While the cells in control group were transfected with EGFP expressing plasmid and empty plasmid. Cells were cultured for 12 h before administrating Rapamycin. Fluorescent imaging was performed 48 h post rapamycin stimulation to quantify the fluorescent intensity.

Results

To test whether the GFP levels can be tuned and continuously regulated by rapamycin, HEK-293T cells were co-transfected with GFP expressing plasmid and RiPrePro1.0 plasmid/empty vector. Fluorescent imaging showed slight decrease (~20%) of GFP fluorescence in RiPrePro1.0 expressing group comparing to the control group (Fig 2A and 2B) under 1 ng/μL rapamycin induction. Also, increasing concentration of rapamycin significantly improve degradation effect (Fig 2C).
