pBAD-dCas9-linker-sfGFP

This part consists of araC/araBAD promoter and sfGFP fused to the C terminus of dCas9. Expression level of dCas9 induced by arabinose is tested by fluorescence of fused dCas9 linker sfGFP.

Promoter pBAD is induced with inexpensive and non-toxic monosaccharide L-arabinose and in bacterial strains deficient in arabinose catabolism. This promoter is tightly regulated and can reach moderately high levels of downstream gene expression.In order to obtain a dynamic range and proper concentration to induce the expression of dCas9, we use cytometry to characterize the pBAD/araC promoter on respectively medium copy number pSB3C5 and low copy number pSB4A5 in TOP10 and found the fluorescense is increased as the concentration of arabinose increases (Figure 1).After we changed the downstream gene "sfGFP" with "sfGFP fused dCas9" on pSB3C5, it was observed that the expression of dCas9 from pBAD promoter can be modulated over a wide range of arabinose concentrations (Figure 2).

In order to alleviate the burden caused by dCas9,we add a degradation tag "ssrA" to the end of sfGFP. Then we found that the protein with ssrA was expressed at a lower level than the control protein, with the same concentration of inducer.
