PttB344_HrpS_PJ23105_ttrR

promoter

Profile

Name: PttB344_HrpS_PJ23105_ttrR

Base Pairs: 2040 bp

Origin: Synthetic

Properties: A biosensor releasing fluorescence only when detecting the IBD marker.

Usage and Biology

Background

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, including ulcerative colitis (CD) and Crohn’s disease (CD). This chronic disease, which is prone to repeated deterioration, currently lacks unified diagnostic and treatment standards, and is posing a great threat to public health. Drug therapy (anti-inflammatory drugs) is the preferred treatment for IBD. However, studies in the past 10 years have found that 30-50% of IBD patients do not respond to anti-TNF treatment. In addition, after long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs, the patient's intestinal microbial status changes over time, and the effect may be lost due to drug resistance. Therefore, we need to seek help from other treatments for IBD. HrpR protein binds to HrpS protein forming a complex and then triggering the transcription of promoter hrpL. It can sense S4O62- to release the substance S

Construct design

HrpS is a key functional factor under PttB344 promoter (Figure 1). And this sequence is inserted into plasmid. Its sequence is shown in Figure 2.

The profiles of every basic part are as follows:

BBa_K3994003

Name: HrpS

Base Pairs: 912bp

Origin: Pseudomonas syringae, genome

Properties: A coding sequence of HrpS protein

Usage and Biology

This codes for HrpS protein. HrpR protein binds to HrpS protein forming a complex and then triggering the transcription of promoter hrpL. This functions like a AND logic gate.

BBa_K3994012

Name: PttB344

Base Pairs: 85bp

Origin: Synthetic

Properties: A coding sequence of promoter ttB344.

Usage and Biology

This is a sequence of PttB344. PttrB185-269 is a minimal TtrR activated promoter when TtrR is phosphorylated by TtrS after TtrS sensing tetrathionate.

Experimental approach

Recombinant Plasmid Construction

Lane 1 and 2: Plasmid pSU2718-p15A digested by Xba1 and BamH1.

Lane 3: Part 2, PttB344_HrpS_PJ23105_ttrR, got by PCR method with size of 2060bp.

This step is used to get the plasmids pSU2718-p15A digested by enzyme Xba1 and BamH1and gene PttB344_HrpS_PJ23105_ttrR by PCR method for later in the process. Therefore, channel 1 and 2 were plasmids pSU2718-p15A digested by enzyme Xba1 and BamH1. And channel 3 were gene PttB344_HrpS_PJ23105_ttrR got by PCR. Clean-up the product to obtain pSU2718-p15A backbone and PttB344_HrpS_PJ23105_ttrR-fragment. T4 DNA ligase is used to connect pSU2718-p15A backbone and PttB344_HrpS_PJ23105_ttrR-fragment to get plasmid pSU2718-part2.

Lane 1: Plasmid pSU2718-p15A digested by EcoR1.

Lane 2 to 5: Recombinant plasmid pSU2718-part2 digested by EcoRI. We got two bands with size of 2803bp and 1544bp.

The results show that we got the correct plasmid. And the plasmid was sent to sequence.
