IbpB RNA Thermometer with RFP

The IbpB thermometer is an RNA thermometer element found in the ibpAB operon. The operon contains two heat-shock genes, encoding inclusion body binding proteins A and B (IbpA/B), and is the most drastically upregulated operon under heat-shock in Escherichia coli.

IbpA is regulated by a ROSE element found in its 5' UTR, while IbpB has its own heat-sensitive cis-regulatory element. The activity of this thermoregulator was confirmed in vitro but was not found in vivo, suggesting more complicated operon regulation exists in bacterial cells. In this part, red fluorescent protein (RFP) is added in the downstream region to measure the activity of RNA thermometer.

RNA Thermometers are the only known single-component regulators of gene expression. RNA Thermometers are thermosensors that regulate gene expression by temperature-induced changes in RNA conformation. Naturally occurring RNA Thermometers exhibit complex secondary structures which are believed to undergo a series of gradual structural changes in response to temperature shifts. RNA Thermometers often regulate genes required during either a heat shock or cold shock response, but have been implicated in other regulatory roles such as in pathogenicity and starvation.

This showed that our IbpB part was correctly showing RBS properties.

Through examining the pellets of the cultures, we have reached the consensus that our IbpB Thermometer is temperature sensitive and also shows RBS properties however shows slightly less RBS functionality when compared to the RBS of RFP, B0034.
