MerR-pMerT mercury sensing chromoprotein reporter device
This device contains the mercury-inducible promoter pMerT and co-expresses its activator protein MerR, which specifically binds to mercury. When mercury is present, the pMerT promoter drives the expression of the chromoprotein tsPurple, serving as the reporter signal. The design was inspired by iGEM 2010 Team Peking (BBa_K346002).
We used tsPurple as the reporter gene, a purple chromoprotein chosen for its visible colour. This helps create a user-friendly and cost-effective mercury biosensor without needing expensive equipment or special techniques.The illustration of the regulatory mechanism is shown below:
However, because we later found out that we ordered the wrong DNA, we didn't have time to clone this construct, and no experiments were conducted on it.
