Bax mutant form1
Coding sequence of Bax mutant form1 protein which releases cytochrome C and leads to apoptosis in the most broadly used eukaryotic chassis. This year we choose Saccharomyces cerevisiae as our chassis fungal, so we use this gene as the key gene in our biosafety device. It worked well when we detected it's function.We submitted as a improvement of already exist hbax biobrick. The link of original biobrick is here:https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K364202

Figure1: Picture of gel electrophoresis (PCR validated products of Bax mutant form1 ; 579bp) Function：We use Bax protein to kill our engineered yeast when the fungal has finished its mission.
The 579bp fragment was cloned under the GAL1 promoter, followed by CYC1 terminator. The pYES2 vector is designed for native expression of protein of interest in S. cerevisiae. It contains the URA3 gene for selection in yeast and 2µ origin for high-copy maintenance. After verifying the right constructs by restriction enzyme digestions and sequencing, the plasmids were transformed into S. cerevisiae SEY6210.
Figure 2: Yeast growth curve induced by galactose. The expression of Bax protein was activated by inducer-2% galactose. The cells were washed and diluted 1:1000 into fresh medium to induce the GAL promoter. We use the microplate reader to test the value of OD600. By comparing pYES2-Bax’s growth-inhibiting effect with the control, we can see from the picture that the inhibition level of Bax mutant form1 induced by 2% galactose is significantly higher than the control. It is remarkable that expression of the proapoptotic protein Bax conferred a lethal phenotype in the yeast.
Figure 3: Yeast growth curve (with glucose as carbon source). In theory, when there is glucose, Bax protein is not expressed. However, from the picture we can be seen that there is a certain leakage.
Figure 4: Apoptotic phenotype in Saccharomyces cerevisiae SEY6210 induced by Bax protein.We can see a significant decrease of yeast concentration.After centrifugation,fewer precipitated cells of induced medium were seen than that of uninduced medium.
Figure 5 : Observing yeast cells under a microscope.We have count the cell density of the yeast.

Figure6: Typan Blue Staining Cell Viability Assay . The stained cells in the view are dead cells.
Figure6:CCK-8 testing: Method: Cells were added into 96-well microplates. Then CCK8 solution were added to the wells and the plates were incubated for additional 4 h at 30°C. Optical density was measured using a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm.
