Applications of BBa_K1049002
Our team KIT-Kyoto 2013 constructed this isoamyl acetate generator for the purpose of measurement. T7 promoter is an IPTG-inducible promoter. We added 20uL IPTG (100mM) to our genetically modified E.coli after cultivation at 28 and 37 degree C. 2 hours after, we extracted soluble proteins from it by using FastBreak™ Cell Lysis Reagent and did SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
ATF2 gene encodes AATase, which is about 62kDa. The consumption of protein marker is like this.
Myosin 200kDa
β‐Galactosidase 120kDa
Bovine Serum Albumin 95kDa
Glutamine dehydrogenase 68kDa
Ovalbumin 50kDa
Carbonic Anhydrase 36kDa
Myoglobin 27kDa
Lysozyme 20kDa
Aprotinin 10kDa
You can find the band at lanes which are added IPTG just beneath the band of 68kDa.
Next, to confirm the activity of AATase, we added isoamyl alcohol after IPTG induction and cultivated for about 2 hours. We used E. coli cells carrying the empty vector (pET-15b) as a control and compare it with the E.coli cells carrying pET15b-ATF2 after addition of isoamyl alcohol. To compare the production of isoamyl acetate, we carried out a bioassay using Drosophila. Because Drosophila favors the fruit odor like isoamyl acetate. [1]
After the addition of IPTG and isoamyl acetate, the culture was impregnated into the filter and placed in a case containing 10 Drosophilas. We monitored the behavior of Drosophila. This is the result. For 1 hour, 7 flies gathered to the ATF2. These results clearly indicate that ATF2 produces isoamyl acetate from isoamyl alcohol.
In addition, according to this previous study [2], the ability of ATF2 protein producing isoamyl acetate in yeast is higher than ATF1 protein.
It is known that both ATF1 and ATF2 protein are involved in producing isoamyl acetate.
In 2006, MIT iGEM team submitted ATF1 coding sequence. (BBa_J45006)
Our new part, ATF2 coding sequence, fall under the category of the improvement of function existing BioBrick Part, BBa_J45006.
Herewith, our team, KIT-Kyoto 2013 iGEM team, meets the additional requirements for a Gold Medal.
