UAS-Hsp70-MTF1
This part is responsible to the expression of MTF-1 gene driven by UAS in Drosophila. It consists of UAS sequence (BBa_K3281012), Hsp70 sequence (BBa_K4890004) and MTF-1 gene (BBa_K4890001). UAS and Hsp70 are derived from pUAST plasmid. Upstream activating sequence (UAS) is a cis-acting regulatory sequence. It increases the expression of a neighbouring gene when binds to GAL4. Hsp70 is a promoter that can bind to RNA polymerase and start transcription. MTF-1 gene is derived from Drosophila melanogaster. It encodes MTF-1 (metal-responsive transcription factor-1) which is a transcription factor. MTF-1 protein can be activated by heavy metals. In the cell nucleus of Drosophila cells, MTF-1 binds to MRE to recruit RNA polymerase, in turn increasing the expression of Mto/Mtn to detoxicate metals.

Results
1 Construction of pUAST-MTF-1 plasmid
We took a commercialized recombinant plasmid pUAST as template, and used restrictive endonuclease (BglII and XhoI) digestion to obtain a linearized pUAST vector. MTF-1 gene fragment was amplified from the cDNA of wildtype Drosophila melanogaster by PCR. DNA electrophoresis confirmed the length of the PCR product (2376bp). MTF-1 gene fragment was ligated with the pUAST linearized vector by T4 ligase. pUAST-MTF-1 was transformed into E. coli DH5α strain. Colony PCR and DNA electrophoresis (2376bp) was performed to confirm the positive colonies. These colonies were transferred and expanded. Plasmid extracted from the colonies was confirmed to be pUAST-MTF-1 plasmid by gene sequencing (Figure 1-2).
