Prhl(LR)

We newly developed the Prhl(LR) promoter (BBa_K1529310) by improving Prhl promoter (BBa_R0071) which is activated by C4HSL-RhlR complex (Fig. 1).
To characterize the function of this Prhl(LR) promoter, we constructed a part, Prhl(LR)-GFP (BBa_K1529311), by inserting the Prhl(LR) promoter, upstream of a GFP coding sequence.

By using the reporter cells that contain Prhl(LR)-GFP, we measured the fluorescence intensity of the cells induced by C4HSL. (Fig. 3.)
We saw that our new Prhl(LR) promoter was actually activated by C4HSL through an induction assay

Improvement and Characterization

Group: Tokyo Tech 2016

Author: Yoshio Takata

Summary of Improvement and Characterization:

I. Improved Prhl by iGEM 2014 Tokyo_Tech and characterize RhlR assay

II. Improvement of the wild type Prhl

III. Comparison of the improved Prhl by iGEM 2014 Tokyo_Tech to our original improved Prhl

Our purpose is to create strong Prhl for our final genetic circuits.

The past improved Prhl did not suit for our final circuits and we could construct the improved Prhl appropriate to our final circuits.


I. Improved Prhl by iGEM 2014 Tokyo_Tech team and characterization of RhlR

We found that Prhl(RL) (BBa_K1529300) activity was weak and the expression level depended on LVA tag (Fig.1); LVA-tagged proteins are prone to be degraded by cellular proteases. Prhl(LR) (BBa_K1529310) activity was strong and unexpectedly reacted with C12 (crosstalk) (Fig.3).

Fig.1 Comparison of the Past improved Prhl and RhlR

The colonies of transformants with a rhlR (BBa_C0171) plasmid looked rough and the growth rate was low(Fig.2-left), while the colonies of transformants with a rhlR-LVA (BBa_C0071) plasmid looked smooth and the growth rate was normal(Fig.2-right). However, the reason for this result is unclear.

II. Improvement the wild type Prhl

By introducing a single point mutation into wild type Prhl (BBa_R0071) by PCR, we obtained 198 Prhl mutants and chose the two Prhl mutants of which promoter activity was stronger than wild type Prhl(Fig.3).

Fig. 3 RFU of GFP / turbidity of imoroved Prhl mutants

The sequences of these two chosen mutants are shown below. The small characters indicate the scar sequence and a single point mutation is colored with red.

III. Comparison of the improved Prhl by iGEM 2014 Tokyo_Tech team to our original improved Prhl

Prhl(NM) was chosen from the many Prhl mutants, and by comparing Prhl(NM) to Prhl(LR), we obtained the result below (Fig.4). The reaction activity of Prhl(NM) to C4 was stronger than that of Prhl(LR), and Prhl(NM) did not react with C12 at all.
