HepT: A toxin can cleave mRNA

HepT is a toxin. a member of the higher eukaryotes and prokaryotes nucleotide-binding (HEPN) superfamily, strongly inhibited cell growth in S.oneidensis and Escherichia coli. The HepT toxin (HEPN-domain protein) could function as an RNase with a RX4-6H active motif and cleave mRNA to inhibit cell growth.[1]

HepT/MntA is one kind of Toxin/Antitoxin (TA) systems in which the enzyme antitoxin chemically modifies the toxin to neutralize it. [1]

Usage and Biology

Toxin HepT with activity against cell growth which is common in bacteria and archaea. Cytotoxicity shows on that HepT can bind to mRNA, and induces degradation of the mRNA.

HepT dimerization enables the formation of a deep cleft at the HEPN-domain interface harboring a composite Rx4-6H active site that functions as an RNA-cleaving ribonuclease. [2][3]

Functional Parameters

To determine the cytotoxicity of HepT, we transferred pET-28a(+)-HepT to E.coil BL21(DE3). The E.coil strain was cultured to OD600 = 0.4 ~ 0.6, induced with or without 0.5 mM IPTG, and allowed to grow overnight at 37℃. In the 96-well plates, the Synergy H1 microplate reader was used to measure the cytotoxicity by comparing the OD600 between experimental group and control group. The results obtained from triple independent experiments are shown below (Figure 1).

Experience

This part was used to Suicide module in iGEM21_HZAU-China`s project “P.E.T.”. Our design is about a quick and convenient way to detect the IBD in pets. Considering intestinal temperature of dogs is normally higher than room temperature, we decided to enable the bacteria to kill themselves at low temperatures and only survive at intestinal temperature. To achieve such a function, we utilized RNA thermometers and the HepT toxin to build this module. We used HepT as toxin to let the engineered bacteria suicide or lose competitive advantage in the nature environment until die off.
