F. psychrophilum LFA control probe (rpoC)

Introduction

FlavoFlow

Vilnius-Lithuania iGEM 2020 project FlavoFlowincludes three goals towards looking for Flavobacterium disease-related problems solutions. The project includes creating a rapid detection kit, based on HDA and LFA, developing an implement for treating a disease, and creating a foundation of edible vaccines. This part was used for the first goal- detection - of the project FlavoFlow.

Overview

Vilnius Lithuania iGEM 2020 team decided to create a lateral flow assay (LFA) test for Flavobacterium identification and detection purposes. F. psychrophilum causes bacterial cold water disease in freshwater fish. It is essential to detect the infection-causing pathogen as soon as possible so that an appropriate treatment could be started. To do this, our team created a helicase dependent amplification (HDA)-LFA based detection test that in a few hours can identify an exact bacteria.

Detection system

Lateral flow assay based on nucleic acid requires three single-stranded DNA probes: detection, capture, and control. The main principle of this method is that the added ssDNA amplicon hybridizes to the detection probe as well as capture probe, due to this first visible red line appears, eventually a second line also appears due to the hybridization of control and detection probe. If two lines are present, then the test is positive, if only one is visible - negative.


Bioinformatic analysis

rpoC gene (JX657167.1) was chosen for F. psychrophilum (ATCC 49418) strain[1]. For the rpoC gene, meant to identify F. psychrophilum we chose 205 - 250 bp region to place detection and capture probes.


To develop the F. psychrophilum LFA test based on rpoC gene these parts are needed: BBa_K3416110, BBa_K3416111,BBa_K3416112. Primers to amplify a fragment of rpoC are:


F_Psy: ACGGGTATTCTTCTTGCTACAAATA

R_Psy: GGATCCCATTTACAAATAACATCTCC


In our case, detection and capture probes were created to be complementary to the negative strand of the gene. All protocols needed to prepare LFA tests as well as to perform HDA can be found in Vilnius-Lithuania iGEM 2020 team wiki page.

Description of rpoC F. psychrophilum capture probe

BBa_K3416112 is a control probe used to functionalize gold nanoparticles, meaning that a part of the sequence is adsorbed by gold nanoparticle. This basic part is only the DNA sequence itself, but for successful LFA test development, modifications are needed. Without thiol group modification detection probe sequence can lose its molecular recognition function after conjugation to gold nanoparticle[2]. For this reason, a thiol group (ThioMC6-D, IDT) must be added to the 5’ end. Also, the probe should contain a poly-A sequence for efficient gold nanoparticles functionalization using a low pH method[3]. The rest of the sequence is left free for hybridization. Thiol group reacts with gold nanoparticle and allows efficient functionalization reaction.
