Introduction

Inspired by Xu’s work and based on keasling’s work, we designed a series of stem-loops with different free energy for further use as basic regulatory parts. To measure the regulation effect of stem-loop, we constructed the dual-fluorescent reporter system (GFP and mCherry) to test the regulatory effect of various stem-loops.

The operon is transcribed by its sole promoter and the primary transcript is cleaved into several secondary transcripts by RNase E, a single-stranded, nonspecific endonuclease with preference for cleaving A/U-rich sequence. However, the stability of these secondary transcripts against exonuclease degradation from the 3’ end varied due to their distinct terminal structure. When stem-loops inserted in the 3'end of the upstream gene, it protects its mRNA against the cleavage of exonuclease, increasing the ratio of abundance of the first gene product relative to that of the second gene product. Furthermore, the lower free energy of stem-loops are, the more stable the secondary transcripts of the upstream are, tuning the expression of multiple genes.

Figure 1 shows the expression of fluorescence protein effected by stem-loops with different folding free energy. It’s clearly that the difference is significant. Then we measured the quantitative expression on two levels: the transcriptional level and the translational level.
Figure.2 shows the relative expression level of the dual-fluorescence reporter system we designed. The ratio of GFP and mCherry has significant difference both on the transcriptional level and the translational level with different stem-loops.

Description

We designed a series of stem-loops followed by a RNase site with various free energy measured by Mfold, which can be used as basic regulatory elements.

This part encodes stem-loop of -10.0 kcal/mol that designed by ourselves and a RNase site downstream. The effect of transcript protection we measured of the stem-loop and RNase is as follows:
