ple (Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase, TH)

ple (TH) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the dopamine’s synthesis, and it plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons.
Catalytic activity: L-tyrosine + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 = L-dopa + 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin.
This subpathway is part of the pathway dopamine biosynthesis, which is itself part of catecholamine biosynthesis.

Design Notes

ple has three alternatively spliced transcript variants which encode iosforms of TH. We choose isoform B to construct our plasmid.

According to our experiment results to judge, the ple coding sequence is hard to clone from Drosophila 's cDNA library because of its multi-segment repeats. So we recommend that you obtain from the constructed plasmid, or synthesize it directly.

We ordered a synthetic ple from GENEWIZ®, and cloned it into pUAST vector with two restriction sites: EcoRI and XbaI. We connected TH promoter to GAL4( BBa_K2374004 [1] )and GAL80ts( BBa_K2374002 [2] )respectively, and cloned them into pUAST vector which had been removed the UAS sequence( BBa_K2374008 [3] ), then to microinject them into Drosophila 's eggs. Also we did microinjection with UAS-TH (BBa_K2374007 [4]). After hybridization screening, we got stable modified fruit fly strains. Finally, we did RT-PCR, qPCR and behavioral experiments to test our system. Here shows some results[http://2017.igem.org/Team:Tongji_China/Experiments].

We cloned TH into shipping backbone pSB1C3 with In-Fusion. Here shows the restriction endonuclease digestion image of pSB1C3-TH.

2. Pst I (782) CTGCAG->CTGCTG

Test Results

1. Use Real-time PCR to detect whether the expression of TH is increased at 29°C. It shows that the relative expression of TH in modified fruit flies increased significantly.

2. Detect male-male courtship when raising the temperature. Mating index refers to the relative time that the fruit fly use for mating.
It shows that he mating index of the treated group rises significantly in at 29°C. [time=5minutes, n=5, P<0.01]

+'''ple''' (Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase, TH)
-An upstream activating sequence or upstream activation sequence (UAS) is a cis-acting regulatory sequence. It is distinct from the promoter and increases the expression of a neighbouring gene. Due to its essential role in activating transcription, the UAS is often considered to be analogous to the function of the enhancer in multicellular eukaryotes. Upstream activation sequences are a crucial part of induction, enhancing the expression of the protein of interest through increased transcriptional activity. The UAS is found adjacently upstream to a minimal promoter (TATA box) and serves as a binding site for transactivators. If the transcriptional transactivator does not bind to the UAS in the proper orientation then transcription cannot begin.

-We cloned synthetic TH into pUAST with restriction endonuclease digestion and T4 ligase igation. Then we construct pSB1C3-UAS-TH and pUAST-UAS-TH. The pSB1C3-UAS-TH is for submission. The pUAST-UAS-TH also with the other two plasmids: pUAST-ple-GAL4 ([https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K2374005 BBa_K2374005])and pUAST-ple-GAL80ts ([https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K2374006 BBa_K2374006]) are used to do micro-injection into the ''D.melanogaster''. We must combine the three pathways to determine if the system work well. After hybridization screening, we got stable modified fruit fly strains. Finally, we did RT-PCR, qPCR and behavioral experiments to test our system. <br>The result of our testing on ''D.melanogaster'' is displayed below.
-'''''note''''':
-. At 18-25°C (the optimum temperature for fruit flies’ growth), it has the activity binding to Gal4, which will eliminate the effect Gal4 binding to UAS, then downstream gene TH will not express and the expression level of dopamine is normal.<br>
-. When the temperature is up to 29℃, Gal80ts will be inactivated, then Gal4 works properly, binding to Gal4 binding sequence on UAS, and start the expression of downstream gene TH which will leads to the overexpression of dopamine in ''Drosophila''.<br>

-===Usage and Biology===
-The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the conversion of tyrosine to dopamine. It is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines, hence plays a key role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive Segawa syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.
