ColE promoter +mhei gene +mcherry gene +T1terminator

The device is a functional composite part containing a mheI-mCherry fusion protein .

Biology

-ColE promoter (BBa_K2244006) is derived from the promoter region of colicin E gene located in the ColE1 plasmid of E.coli. ColE promoter contains a ‘SOS’ operator region that allows the binding of LexA protein to repress transcription. DNA-binding component of LexA repressor in LEV1 would form a dimer and bind to the operator sequence thus halts the activity of ColE promoter. -mheI-mCherry is a coding sequence for a fusion protein. mheI (BBa_K2244004) encodes MBC-hydrolyzing esterase (MHE) that degrades MBC (carbendazim) pesticide. MHE is responsible for carrying out the first step detoxification (MBC to 2-AB), without the need of any cofactor. mCherry (BBa_K2244008) is a red fluorescent protein used as a reporter gene. This fusion protein allows the visulization of the part being uptake by cells. - -T1 terminator (BBa_B0010), it is the most used terminator in E. coli system.

Usage

In our project this year, this device worked in the lightOFF system (BBa_k2244009) to replace the ColE promoter+mCherry+T1 terminator section and to allow the expression of MHE when induced in darkness. To demonstrated the functionality of this part, we performed ELISA and enzymatic activity studies (Figure 1-3) to prove that functional MHE was successfully produced using light-regulated system.

-The device is a functional plasmid containing a MBC hydrolase gene (mheI) ([https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K2244004 BBa_K2244004]), which encodes carbendazim hydrolase. In order to study expression of target gene in cytoplasm, mheI was fused to a reported gene mCherry ([https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_J06504 BBa_J06504]), which functions as indicator of the uptake of mheI. This part is regulated under the control of ColE promoter, which is from E. coli ColE1 plasmid.
