A part (including a reporter gene) that induces and regulates downstream gene expression by salicyli

The part is composed of BBa_K5335024, BBa_K5335001, promoter J61051 and ribosome binding site B0034. The whole circuit can play the role of induce and regulate downstream gene expression by salicyli.

Usage and Biology

To sense the salicylic acid signal produced by plants due to disease, we designd salicylic acid sensors. The LysR-type regulator NahR senses salicylic acid signals in the environment.When the salicylic acid concentration reaches a threshold, the Psal promoter is activated to express the HrpR .

To verify the function of NahR and Psal, we designed a genetic circuit that uses the cyan fluorescent protein amCyan1 as a reporter protein. The constructed plasmid vector is illustrated in Figure 2. 无标题文档

Experimental Verification

SDS-PAGE

We transformed the recombinant plasmid into E. coli BL21 (DE3) for subsequent functional verification. Before induction with salicylic acid, we verified that NahR could be expressed normally in E. coli BL21(DE3) using using 10% SDS-PAGE electrophoresis.

Phenotypic verification


     After the expression of NahR was verified, in order to verify the function of NahR and sal promoter, we set up a series of salicylic acid concentration gradients for induction (0 μM,0.1 μM,1 μM,10 μM,10 μM,1000 μM). E. coli BL21(DE3) strain without sal promoter was used as a blank control to explore the leakage expression of sal promoter.

     We found that the expression of fluorescent proteins increased rapidly when SA concentration was between 1-10 μM. We added 200 μL of the induced culture medium inoculated with engineered bacteria to a 96-well plate, and detected the emission light intensity at 486nm using a microplate reader. Five groups of parallel replicates were set for each induced concentration.

Figure 4. Comparison of bacterial phenotypes induced by different concentrations of salicylic acid.

     From the above two pictures, it can be seen that sal promoter activity is extremely dependent on salicylic acid concentration, and at the same time sal has low background expression in the absence of salicylic acid.


Protocol

    1. Inoculate single colonies with successful plasmid construction into LB medium.

    2. After 12 hours of cultivation, inoculate the bacterial liquid into fresh LB liquid medium at a ratio of 100:1, and add SA to make the concentration of SA in the medium 0 μM, 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 10 μM, 100 μM, and 1000 μM respectively. Use the engineered bacteria without the Psal promoter as a blank control.

    3. Take 200 µL and add it to a 96-well plate, set up five parallel replicates for each concentration, and run the plate reader under conditions of 37°C and 200 rpm for 4 hours, measuring the fluorescence intensity at 486 nm every 10 minutes.
