pLldR

An Operon unit consisting of a collection of LldR-regulated promoters, and is capable of responding to lactate concentration.


Usage and Biology

Llprd operon is composed of the lldR regulatory protein ( BBa_K1847001 ), the terminator B0012, and the LldPRD promoter（ BBa_M36021 ）. At the LldPRD promoter, there are two operator sites O1 and O2 , which are able to bind to the lldR protein and block subsequent gene transcription. The presence of lactic acid molecules can unblock this blocking phenomenon. Thus, the Llprd operon can specifically respond to lactate and activate downstream genes. In our experiments, we used Llprd operon to adapt to the high lactate characteristics of the tumor cell microenvironment. Enabling our therapeutic strains to rapidly target to tumor cells and achieve targeted therapy.

Characterization

lactate induced promoter testing

We linked mRFP downstream of the lactate-sensing promoter to construct an R reporter, and determined the promoter response to lactate by detecting the fluorescence of RFP. In the Fig 1, the homogenized fluorescence intensity (mRFP/Cell) of the lactate (plldR) induced reporters is shown.It indicates that plldR induces the expression of the downstream gene mRFP with the increase of lactate concertration. Thus, it can be seen that the lactater reporter can work properly.
