op21_A Toehold Switch for miR-21 Detection
Introduction
op21_A toehold switch is a regulatory part for the downstream reporter gene. With this part, the protein expression can be controlled by the miR-21. The sequence of the toehold switch can be separated into the following 5 regions from its 5' end: TBS (trigger binding site), stem region, loop region with RBS(ribosome binding site), complimentary stem region with a start codon, and linker. Upon binding with miR-21, its hairpin structure can be opened up and the ribosomes can bind with its RBS (ribosome binding site), triggering the translation of the downstream reporter.
Design
The design of the toehold switch was mainly based on the previous research[1][2][3][4][5][6]. For the op21_A toehold switch, we adopted the loop structure from Green et al., 2014[7], and the linker structure is from Wang et al., 2019[8]. Using NUPACK analysis and Vienna binding models, we designed the sequence of the toehold switch. (See our model page:https://2020.igem.org/Team:CSMU_Taiwan/Model)
Characrterization using invertase
The 2020 iGEM CSMU-Taiwan characterized the toehold switch with invertase (BBa_K3431000) reporter protein. The plasmid would be transcribed and translated with the protein synthesis kit at 37℃ for 2 hours. We would then add 5μl of 0.5M sucrose and measured the glucose concentration with Rightest TM GS550 glucose meter after 30 minutes. In our
experiments, the ON state refers to the conditions with miRNA triggers; while the OFF state means that there was no miRNA in the environment. We calculated the ON/OFF ratio of the toehold switch, which is defined as “the glucose concentration of the ON state/ the glucose concentration of the OFF state”.
Results The ON/OFF ratio with miR-21 is 1.97, which suggested the regulatory function of the toehold switch. Thus, op21_A toehold switch-regulated invertase can be controlled by the miR-21.

- Summary: Used our software ToeholdTools to investigate the target miRNA specificity and activation of this part.
Raw data:
This contribution was autogenerated by the script contrib.py, available at https://github.com/lkn849/thtools/tree/master/registry.
This switch was designed to detect the miRNA hsa-miR-21-5p at a temperature of 37°C. We tested it against every mature Homo sapiens miRNA in miRBase and our analysis shows that at this temperature it is best used to detect hsa-miR-21-5p.
With hsa-miR-21-5p at 37°C, the switch has a specificity of 100 ± 2 % and an activation of 5 ± 4 %. These values represent 95% confidence limits (z=1.96).
The temperature–activation–specificity relationship is shown here. CRT is an acronym for CelsiusRangeTest, the class in our Python library responsible for the following graph:
