PcpcG2-172, a modified PcpcG2 promoter

PcpcG2 promoter is a 238bp green-light activated promoter in Synechocystis PCC 6803(Part:BBa_K592003). The full length promoter is comprised of a G-box region, a CcaR-P activated promoter, and a constitutive promoter, which contributes to the leakiness under red light and low dynamic range. Therefore, we constructed PcpcG2-172, a 172bp truncated cpcG2 promoter deleted for the constitutive promoter.(For more detail, please view our wiki: "http://2016.igem.org/Team:HZAU-China/Experiments" )

00.1  
Figure 1. Mechanism of CcaS-CcaR system. 

 
 CcaS is produced in a green-absorbing ground state, termed Pg. Absorption of green light flips CcaS to a kinase-active red-absorbing state (Pr) that phosphorylates the response regulator CcaR, which then binds to the G-box operator within cpcG2 promoter and activates transcription. Absorption of red light switches CcaS Pr back to Pg, which dephosphorylates P-CcaR, deactivating transcription.

 

Fluorescence assay of CcaS-CcaR system with PcpcG2-172 (BBa_K2012015) in CL1 (△EnvZ), and PCB (△CcaS) as chromophore.

Fluorescence under green light is 1.81-folds of red light, proving that green light activates output expression, the device works well. PcpcG2-172 shows high efficiency.

More importantly, leaked expression in darkness significantly reduced after truncation of the constitutive promoter.
