pVSW-3 (18)-B0034-gfp-B0015

Biology

pVSW-3(18)

Some RNA polymerases of eukaryotes and viruses have domains that specifically recognize DNA base sequences and are specifically matched with their corresponding promoters (1). VSW-3 RNAP is encoded by the chillophilic phage VSW-3 in plateau lakes and has low-temperature specificity (2). Hengxia et al. characterized pVSW-3 series promoters for the first time and pVSW-3(18) is one of them.

Usage and design

XMU-China has developed a novel RNA polymerase, VSW-3 RNAP and we characterized its potentially useful promoters in order to construct a matching expression system. pVSW-3(18) is one of the more efficient promoters in the series. BBa_K4907109_pSB3K3 was constructed as a reporting circuit, for comparing with pVSW-3(GGG) and pVSW-3(genome). By characterizing these three promoters, we hope to determine the effect of the 3'terminal structure of the promoter for VSW-3 RNAP on its efficiency and to identify a VSW-3 expression system that can effectively function in E. coli.

Characterization

Agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE)

When we were building this circuit, colony PCR was used to certify the plasmid was correct. We got the target fragment-1220bp (lane K4907109).

Comparison of series promoters: pVSW-3(GGG), pVSW-3(genome)

In order to find a promoter that can function efficiently in Escherichia coli, we constructed BBa_K4907109_pSB3K3(pVSW-3(18)), BBa_K4907112_pSB3K3(pVSW-3(GGG)) and BBa_K4907122_pSB3K3(pVSW-3(genome)) to explore the effect of the structure of the 3' terminal of the promoter on its efficiency. The results are shown in the figure, with BBa_K4907109_pSB3K3 showing the highest efficiency.
