ndoA (endoribonuclease toxin in Bacillus subtilis)

This coding region ndoA(also mazF, ydcE) encodes endoribonuclease EndoA, a toxic component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. It encodes endoribonuclease toxin in Bacillus subtilis that is a UACAU‐specific mRNA interferase, cleavaging after the first U. Previous research has proved that its overexpression is toxic for cell growth and it functions as normal in Escherichia coli.

Usage and Biology

MazF is an mRNA interferase which cleaves mRNAs at a specific site, and ndoA, also called ydcE or mazF-bs shows a similar activity according to references given below. ndoA belongs to a type Ⅱ toxin-antitoxin system in Bacillus subtilis. There is great possibility that no antitoxin exists in C. glutamicum to inhibit EndoA encoded by ndoA. So it can be used to kill engineered C. glutamicum at a proper time.

Characterization

This year, our team designed a kill switch in Corynebacterium glutamicum using ndoA from Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis str. 168. We aimed to test if the overexpression of ndoA in Corynebacterium glutamicum can kill the engineered bacteria effectively, and documented our works and failures in iGEM Parts to inspire future iGEM teams for kill switch design.
