Nitric Oxide Sensing Genetic Circuit With Three Ribosomal Binding Sites

Usage and Biology

This composite part consists of the inducible pNorVβ promoter (BBa_K4387000), superfolder GFP preceded by three strong ribosomal binding sites (BBa_K4387020, BBa_B0029, BBa_B0034, BBa_K2553008), the NorR regulator (BBa_K4387001), and a double forward (BBa_B0015). We chose a high-copy backbone from Twist for this part. Due to the competitive binding of the activated and inactivated NorR on the promoter, we decided on this construct with a positive feedback loop that adjusted the levels of NorR. The presence of nitric oxide would activate pNorVβ to induce GFP and NorR expression. Thereby, we ensure that high amounts of NorR will be produced in the presence of NO and in the presence of NO only.

In the frame of our project, we wanted to improve the construct BBa_K4387005 by adding two more ribosomal binding sites to see if we could achieve a higher GFP response. According to the data below, we could prove that the construct with two ribosomal binding sites and the codon-optimized NorR was the best and had the highest response.

This construct was tested in the bacterial strain E.coli Nissle 1917.
