sYFP2 knock In for fusion expression

This part is used to knock in the gene sYFP2 in Rhodobacter Sphaeroides, replacing the end coden of gene puhA, and sYFP2 will be expressed with H-subunit of light reaction center as fusion protein. The part is composed of 404bp of upstream DNA sequence(the end coden of puhA is not included) and 720bp coding sequence of sYFP2 (Part:BBa_K2308003) and 562bp of downstream DNA sequence. After homologous recombination, sYFP2 will be expressed with the H-subunit through fusion expression.


BBa_K2308002 is an important part in our experiment. It is composed of BBa_K2308006,BBa_K2308003 and BBa_K2308007. The function of this part is to carry out the homologous recombination on the genome of Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1.



In the experiment, sYFP2 was designed to be fused to the C-terminal of subunit H in the reaction center(RC) of Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1.

In fusion expression experiment: we constructed the plasmid using part BBa_K2308002, and after transformation and gene recombination, single clones are selected by antibiotics and PCR tests.

Fluorescence image shows sYFP2 which is fused with H submit of Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 ’s reaction center folded correctly and was able to emit fluorescence.

Figure 4:Absorption spectra of RC-sYFP2 strains compared with wild type.




The RC-sYFP2 fusion strain was created in a wild type background. Absorption spectrum of membranes from this strain recorded at room temperature show no isolated sYFP2 peak due to overlap with absorption of carotenoid B at 514 nm.

The biomass of Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 didn’t arise very much since the energy from sYFP2 is too little.
