Phosphate-dependent, temperature-sensitive cascaded system with GFP reporter

For more detailed experimental results, do visit our [http://2017.igem.org/Team:NUS_Singapore/Experiments experimental page].

A phosphate repressible system is combined with a temperature sensitive system. At high phosphate level, phosphate-sensitive promoter is repressed, which leads to stopping of TlpA36 production. As a result, pTlpA promoter will be expressing GFP. At low phosphate concentrations, TlpA36 protein is actively produced. Under high temperature, TlpA36 protein cannot dimerize and has no repressive effect on pTlpA. Under low temperature (below 36 degrees), TlpA36 protein dimerises and becomes capable of repressing pTlpA; and hence starts repressing expression of GFP.

This construct is characterized in 10β cells in MOPS medium (0.2% casamino acid and 0.2% glucose). Construct is partially functional as seen by the 1-fold increase in GFP expression at the higher temperature (37 degrees) compared to 30 degrees, where the promoter pTlpA is unbounded and able to recruit RNA polymerase for GFP expression. However, the construct is not sensitive to high phosphate concentration. Under high phosphate concentrations, regardless of the temperature conditions, high GFP expression should be expected but was not observed in the results (Figure 1).

-A phosphate repressible system is attached to downstream temperature system. At high phosphate level, phosphate-sensitive promoter is repressed and leading to no production of tlpa36. As a result, promoter tlpa36 will be constitutive for production of GFP. At low phosphate level, tlpa36 proteins are actively produced. Under high temperature, tlpa36 proteins exist in dimer and having no repressive effect on ptlpa36. Under low temperature (below 36 degree), tlpa36 protein de-dimerises to form tlpa36 monomer, and capable of repressing ptlpa36; and hence repressing downstream expression of GFP.
