LBD-GSG-NES-GSG-TetR
This composite part consists of an N-terminal NR3C1 LBD(Part:BBa_K4414000) domain and a C-terminal tetR(Part:BBa_K4414009) domain fused with NES(Part:BBa_K4414003). It is designed to sense glucocorticoids and activates the transcription of the reporter gene.
Usage and Biology
As a glucocorticoid sensor, this part is designed to enter the nucleus upon glucocorticoid stimulation and bind to the TCE promoter to activate downstream transcription. This part consists of a tetR DNA binding domain, which binds to the TCE promoter (Part:BBa_K4016011) consisting of seven direct 19-bp tet operator sequence (tetO) repeats. The GRLBD domain on the N terminal is the ligand binding domain of the glucocorticoid receptor(GR). This LBD domain can translocate the fusion protein into the nucleus upon glucocorticoid stimulation. It also has a transactivating domain 2 (τ2) and an activation function domain 2 (AF2) which activates downstream gene expression.(Weikum et al., 2017) NES is a nuclear export signal which can translocate protein from the nucleus into the cytosol .

Functional Test
To test the ability of this part to respond to glucocorticoids, HEK-293T cells were co-transfected with plasmids encoding both BBa_K4414044 and TCE-SEAP(Part:BBa_K4414041).
Method
Cells were treated with 100 nM Glucocorticoids 6 h post-transfection. Cells without glucocorticoid treatment were used as control. Culture medium was collected at 48 h post glucocorticoids treatment. SEAP activity was measured according to a published protocol. (Shao, Qiu, & Xie, 2021) Figure2.Schematic representation of the experimental process of validation for BBa_K4414044 and (Part:BBa_K4414041).
Result
Results showed significantly increased SEAP expression in glucocorticoid-treated cells compared to the non-treated control (91.6 folds)(Figure 3).
