'''Microscopy of double transformated pFX234 / Biobricked TetO Array <i>E. Coli</i>''':<br>

In order to do this characterization, we took pictures of different plasmids containing only TetO array (K606026); TetR + YFP (pFX234); TetO + TetR + YFP (K606026 and pFX234). In each case we made a control by non inducing the promoter with arabinose. Cells were grown at 37°C and induced at least 45min.
  
<h2>Characterisation of YFP:TetR fusion protein and TetO array</h2>
 
 
<h3>Testing the YFP:tetR and tetO array strains from D. Lane</h3>
 
 
<p>In the article describing the YFP:TetR fusion protein <a href="http://2011.igem.org/Team:Paris_Bettencourt/Experiments/YFP_TetR_diffusion#references">[1]</a>, <i>E. coli</i> strains are growing at 20°C to avoid protein aggregation. But nanotubes between <i>B. subtilis</i> have only been observed at 37°C.
 
We tested different possibilities: at 37°C or 30°C and different concentrations of arabinose (0% - 0,1% -0,2%) to deal with protein aggregation.</p>

|+tetR:YFP / TetO array : 37°C
<p>With both YFP:TetR and TetO array plasmids, we can see few spots of fluorescence with 0,2% arabinose. Because there are in the cell extremity, we can suppose that it is concentrated fluorescence in TetO arrays. Nevertheless the protein aggregation is obvious when there is only YFP:tetR at 30°C and 37°C in <i>E. coli</i>.</p>

Parts construction:
Origins of TetO Array are from pDAG479 of D. Lane (Toulouse 2 University).

Cloning plan of TetO array construction



We characterize it with arabinose-induced YFP:TetR Wild Type from pFX234 plasmid of F-X Barre and D. Lane (Kinetics of plasmid segregation, Molecular Microbiology, 2004).

Microscopy of double transformated pFX234 / Biobricked TetO Array E. Coli:
In order to do this characterization, we took pictures of different plasmids containing only TetO array (K606026); TetR + YFP (pFX234); TetO + TetR + YFP (K606026 and pFX234). In each case we made a control by non inducing the promoter with arabinose. Cells were grown at 37°C and induced at least 45min.

The pictures of TetO show no YFP activity, which is normal because there is no YFP sequence in these plasmids.
The TetR-YFP construct which constitutes the transmitter part, occasionally shows gross aggregated YFP. This is not what we expected at first, but that does not prevent us to characterize the full construct.
After observing the full construct's pictures, we can obviously distinguish glowing dots in some cells. They reflect the behavior we expected. Indeed, appearance of dots shows (red arrow) that the receiver (TetO array) actually links tightly to TetR-YFP which is the emitted protein. Not all the dots are highlighted with red arrows but all are fluorescence loci.

Microscopy of ibpA mCherry double transformated in E. Coli

We transformated ibpA mCherry cells (expressing a RFP in a agregation chaperon protein, with courtesy of Anne-Sophie Coquel, Inserm U1001) with pFX234 YFP:TetR and biobricked TetO Array plasmids to differenciate TetO array foci than agregation.

  • Case of YFP:TetR over-expression by arabinose induction
Microscopy yfp ibpa.jpg

Microscopy shows overlap for most foci and mCherry agregation but there are some foci that are alone indicating a TetR-YFP/TetO binding activity. Hopefully we don't expect to get high concentration of YFP:TetR in receiver cell so it will be ok.

  • Case of YFP:TetR low expression by arabinose induction


Microscopy yfp ibpa2.jpg

Microscopy shows that most of agregation are gone and we have more not-overlaping foci.
We could manage to get less agregation if we deal with the arabinose induction.
