T1 terminator from E. coli rrnB

Since many different teams had problems using BBa_B0010, this is the same part newly submitted, confirmed by sequencing and by experience...ready to use!

The characterization of this part was done by the Trento iGEM team 2012 using the new platforms for terminator characterization that they have built and submitted to the Registry as BBa_K731700 and BBa_K731710.

MEASUREMENTS

The activity of this part was analyzed both with T7 and E. coli RNA polymerases in vivo and with T7 RNA polymerase in vitro.

The parameters used to analyze the data are:

apparent termination efficiency, FormulaEa.jpg

raw termination efficiency, FormulaEr.jpg

relative increase in the upstream gene expression, RIequation.png

(the last parameter was added as some terminators were found to increase the expression of the upstream gene)

where

-Vs is the A206K Venus peak’s intensity of the construct with the terminator of interest inserted in the prefix-suffix linker

-Vc is the A206K Venus peak’s intensity of the control construct with no terminator

-Cs is the mCherry peak’s intensity of the construct with the terminator inserted

-Cc is the mCherry peak’s intensity of the control construct

FIGURE 1. E.coli terminator's effect on protein expression with two different RNA polymerases
The data shown in figure 1 were acquired in two different days. For each day 4 different replicates were measured at different times. Briefly, BL21(DE3)pLysS were grown in 10 mL of LB until an OD of 0.6 was reached and induced with 0.5 mM IPTG. After 3 hours of induction, 4 separate aliquots of 1 mL were taken and sonicated 3 times for 10 seconds at intervals of 30 seconds. After sonication the samples were diluted 1:2 with PBS 1X directly into a cuvette and incubated overnight at 4°C. Fluorescence measurements were taken with a Cary Eclipse Varian fluorimeter with a window ranging from 450 nm to 700 nm, a slit of 5nm, a voltage of 570V for the characterization with T7 polymerase and of 520V for the measurements with E. coli RNA polymerase. We used the following excitation and emission wavelengths.

FIGURE 2. E.coli terminator's effect on in vitro protein synthesis with the T7 RNA polymerases
Cell free measurements were done with the PurExpress kit from New England Biolabs, using 250 ng of DNA previously purified by ethanol precipitation, following the protocol suggested by the manufacturer. Measurements were done with a PTI fluorimeter using the following excitation and emission wavelengths.
