promoter+RBS(BBa_K608002)+Mdfa

The resistance of Escherichia coli to many drugs simultaneously (multidrug resistance) often involves the expression of membrane transporters (Mdrs);MdfA,the known bacterial MDR transporters probably utilize the membrane potential(Δψ) and/or the proton gradient (ΔpH) as the driving force for drug export.In Escherichia coli, Mdfa are identified to function in maintenance of a stable cytoplasmic pH under conditions of alkaline stress.

This process is mainly activated by the cross membrane proton electrochemical gradient .changing the electrochemical electric potential of proton built by respiration chain to the cross membrane Na+ electrochemical potential. From research about the Na+/ H+ antiporter of E.coli, mdfa can pump Na+ out of cell when it pumps H+ into cell and ATP is consumed through the process.

Verification experiment on Mdfa

After primer design, pcr and gene sequencing, we linked Mdfa to a strong promoter and RBS(BBa_K608002). Then the product, Mdfa device(BBa_K1350006) has been done.The results shows in the figure below.

Culture four concentration gradients of E-coli (Mdfa transformed) and E-coli (BBa_K608002 transformed) in high pH conditions. The dilution proportion from left to right respectively is zero, doubling,10-fold,100-fold. The E-coli transformed Mdfa proves to grow more normally than none Mdfa E-coli.

Using OD values to validate the growth of E-coli (with Mdfa) and E-coli (with a promoter and RBS). Compared with the E-coli with a promoter, E-coli with Mdfa grow more actively in pH9.0 to pH9.5. In the pH9.75 to pH10, none of them grow.

===Result===

The result shows Mdfa does work actively in E-coli ,helping tolerate the high pH conditions in a range from pH 9.0 to Ph 9.5.
