T7P-g10.RBS-His-Ova-T7T


ThisThe chicken ovalbumin (OVA) is a glycoprotein, which is a major component of chicken egg whites, and harbors immunogenic properties in vaccination experiments[1]. The recombinant OVA protein is readily purified in E. coli BL21 system driven by T7 promoter and triggered by IPTG induction. Therefore, it’s considered as one of the model antigens used to study immune responses in animal models.


Construction

ThisThe vector was prepared from Part:BBa_K4150005 as a backbone with a T7 promoter and a T7 terminator by digested with SpeI and HindIII. The insert of g10.RBS-His-Ova was synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc., followed by digested with XbaI and HindIII. E. coli DH5alpha competent cells were transformed with the resulting ligation product and checked by colony PCR and restriction enzymes, as well as confirmed by DNA sequencing.

ThisThe g10 leader sequence encodes very highly expressed phage proteins, in which 9-base of Epsilon motif exhibits perfect complementary to the 16S RNA of E. coli[2]. This structure connected with the consensus Shine-Dalgarno sequence (SD) can enhance up to 340-fold heterologous gene expression in E. coli[3]. The g10 leader sequence is also present in several commercially available pET series vectors.

ThisWe replaced the RBS with g10.RBS in BioBrick Part:BBa_K3431048 (T7-RBS-RFP-Tr) to create an improved BioBrick Part:BBa_K4150002 (T7-g10.RBS-RFP-Tr). These two plasmids were transformed into E. coli BL21. In the presence of IPTG, colonies on the LB agar plate and cultures in the LB broth both showed darker red colors for RFP gene expression driven by T7 promoter with g10 leader sequence compared to the original RBS without g10 leader sequence (Fig.1). However, the E. coli BL21 with T7-g10.RBS-RFP-Tr had a higher background level in the absence of IPTG.

Figure 1. The plasmids as indicated were transformed into E. coli BL21. The E. coli were grown on LB agar plate supplemented with 20 μg/mL of chloramphenicol and 1mM of IPTG. One of the colonies was cultured in LB broth with 34 μg/mL of chloramphenicol in the absence or in the presence of 1mM of IPTG. Inset panel: The plates were observed under a blue LED light box.




ThisFurthermore, the transformed E. coli with T7-g10.RBS-RFP-Tr compared to T7-RBS-RFP-Tr expressed RFP at faster and increased (up to 2.5-fold) fluorescence intensity levels in a time-dependent manner (Fig. 2). The above data demonstrated the g10 leader sequence in front of RBS can significantly enhance gene expression.

Figure 2. The plasmids as indicated were transformed into E. coli BL21. The E. coli were grown in LB broth supplemented with 34 μg/mL of chloramphenicol and 1mM of IPTG for 18 hours. The RFP expression levels were read at ex/em = 584/607 nm in a kinetic mode by Synergy H1 Hybrid Multi-Mode Reader - BioTek Instruments (Agilent Technologies, Inc.). The values of fluorescence intensity were presented by the data with IPTG induction minus the data without induction as background levels.
