Strong reporter device optimized for Pichia pastoris, activated by methanol

This device is composed of three parts. The first part is a modified promoter pAOX1; it was found in a library where it showed more than 60% stronger activation when compared with the wild-type, as reported by Hartner FS et al., in Promoter library designed for fine-tuned gene expression in Pichia pastoris. Nucleic Acids Res 2008, 36:e76. The second part is a kozak sequence for Pichia pastoris, and the third is a Red fluorescent protein condon optimized for expression in Pichia pastoris.

This device was created to express a reporter gene, in this case RFP, in the presence of ethanol, its expression is inactivated by ethanol. When combined with the modified Mxr1 (BBa_K1078000), it is not inactivated by ethanol. This is useful for our biosensor design, which aims to detect levels of methanol above 2% in common alcoholic drinks (normally containing 10 to 60% ethanol). This will allow government to make a preliminary high-throughput screening of ethanol drinks tainted will methanol.
