We attempted to measure the efficiency of the terminator by cloning it into the pSB1A10 plasmid and culturing the bacteria for 24 hours (37 degrees Celsius, 200RPM, 0.1% arabinose, 100 µg/mL ampicillin). The culture was pelleted and the pellet was resuspended in 1mL of 1X PBS. From that, 10 μL were diluted in 990 mL of 1X PBS to yield approximately 5 million cells. For FACS, we used BD FACSCanto™ II. During FACS, a low flow rate was used. We used the following excitation and emission wavelengths: GFP: excitation = 488 nm, emission = 510 nm ; RFP: excitation = 488 nm, emission = 584 nm.

 +
 +
The efficiency is measured through the following formula: Termination efficiency = 1 -{[RFPterm/GFPterm]/[(RFPcontrol/GFPcontrol)mean]}.
 +
This measurement showed that the efficiency of the terminator is 77.4%.
 +
We also measured the terminator efficiency using the GFP+RFP+ population and the formula: Terminator efficiency = 1 - (Intensity of GFP+RFP+term/Intensity of GFP+RFP+control).
 +
This measurement showed that the terminator efficiency of the terminator is 82%.

We used the part for our reporter system and it worked very good! We also improved it by switching the pre- and suffix, basically inverting it.

Csy4 is a member of CRISPR pathway discovered in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is a single endoRNase that recognizes and cleaves a 28-nucleotide repetitive sequence and produces stable transcripts with a 5’hydroxylgroup, which can eliminate unwanted interactions between 5’UTRs and translational elements such as RBSs units to standardize the expression of the elements. ( Lei Qi et al, 2012).The cleavage site can be curtailed to 16nt proved by in vitro data (Rachel E. Huarwitz et al, 2010)

Please enter how you used this part and how it worked out.

Applications of BBa_B0015

  • PCR Problems: Using primers VR and VF2 to PCR B0010 results in excess bands. VR can anneal to B0010, resulting in shorter bands than expected. A full description of the problem is available here.
  • We used this piece to terminate many of our Berkeley iGEM 2005 Parts. It appeared to work quite well. [Smelissali 6/7/06]
  • There have been reports from the Davidson iGEM team that the plasmid from the iGEM 2006 Repository for this part did NOT contain this biobrick. If you are experiencing this or a similar concern, please contact either myself or [http://2006.igem.org/User:Meaganl Meagan Lizarazo] [--Smelissali 14:26, 2 August 2006 (EDT)]

Issues in using this as vector

  • The standard assembly described here gives very poor results when whatever part BBa_Xxxxx is to be put in front of BBa_B0015 (< 5 cfu/plate). The procedure described below gave much better results (> 200 cfu/plate):
    • Cut BBa_B0015 with XbaI and PstI.
    • Cut BBa_Xxxxx with SpeI and PstI.
    • Ligate the two parts.

Background

Csy4 is a member of CRISPR pathway discovered in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is a single endoRNase that recognizes and cleaves a 28-nucleotide repetitive sequence and produces stable transcripts with a 5’hydroxylgroup, which can eliminate unwanted interactions between 5’UTRs and translational elements such as RBSs units to standardize the expression of the elements. ( Lei Qi et al, 2012).The cleavage site can be curtailed to 16nt proved by in vitro data (Rachel E. Huarwitz et al, 2010)

The CRISPR RNA-processing system facilitate engineering of standard genetic elements in various contexts( Lei Qi et al, 2012).

Figure. 1. The CRISPR RNA-processing system facilitate engineering of standard genetic elements in various contexts( Lei Qi et al, 2012).

Design

Csy4 system is introduced into the terminator efficiency test assay and used optimized sfGFP to test the PoPs of Ptet (BBa_R0040), to approximately estimate the input of BBa_B0015. Then we tested the output of BBa_B0015, with Csy4 insulator to avoid the RNA interference.

Experimental Data (Quantitative Measurement)

We get the device measured by flow cytometer by testing the expression of sfGFP.

Figure B, Histogram of the expression of output of terminator, measured by sfGFP fluorescence by flow cytometer. We assembled the promoter BBa_R0040 and the Csy4 protein with the terminator BBa_B0015. And we used the sfGFP protected by a insulator to measure the leakage rate of the terminator.
