UT-Tokyo 2011

UT-Tokyo 2011 Team has characterized this part through the test of our Firefly-Renilla Dual Luciferase Assay Kit. We succesfully evaluated the relative expression levels of BBa_R0011 with various IPTG concentration, compared to that of BBa_J23119 as a control. For experimental details, see [http://2011.igem.org/Team:UT-Tokyo our page].

Promoter strength

Promoter strenghts in MG1566 and DH5alpha, relative to J23101.

A promoter test was carried out to put synthetic and natural promoters on the same scale. Every promoter was assembled before B0032-SYFP2 (BBa_K864101) in the backbone BBa_K592200 (very similar to the pSB3x5 backbones). The test was performed in E coli expression strain MG1655 and cloning strain DH5alpha, by flow cytometry fluorescence measurements of single cells.

Triplicates of each strain and promoter were inoculated in 2 mL LB media with spectinomycin (50 µg/mL) and grown overnight shaking at 37° C. Samples were equilibrated in PBS solution at 1:160 dilution for one hour, and then measured by a BD Biosciences FACSaria III. 10^5 cells of each sample were individually measured and averaged, with dead and other non-flourescent cells excluded. Promoter strength is noted as fractions of the reference promoter's, J23101, strength in corresponding strain.

The variance in expression between MG1655 and DH5α may depend on the reference J23101. The maximum protein expression may be lower in DH5α, due to its lower fitness resulting in lower expression of SYFP2 in the J23101 construct. Alternatively, the clone with J23101 in DH5α may have been weaker than average, resulting in higher RPU values compared to other DH5α.

LacI repression

The possibility of repression by lacI and induction by IPTG was evaluated in the pSB4C15Iq backbone. Cells grown with IPTG (0.5 mM) had a 100-fold increase of RFP expression, when compared to those grown without. Read about pSB4C15Iq for details.

The UCSF iGEM team tested the pLAC promoter (part BBa_R0011) by placing it in front of GFP and inducing with various concentrations of IPTG. We used this part in the design of our CRISPRi circuit and improved upon it through the following experiments:

Time curve for original pLAC promoter induced with different amount of inducers (0, 0.1, 1, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 120 uM IPTG). Cells were grow to mid-log phase and then start induction. OD600 value and GFP fluorescence level of each sample were measured by plate reader over time. GFP fluorescence were corrected for OD600 value. Error bars indicate standard deviation calculated on the basis of technical replicates.
Dose-response curve for original pLAC promoter induced with different amount of inducers (0, 0.1, 1, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 120 uM IPTG). Cells were grow to mid-log phase and then start induction. OD600 value and GFP fluorescence level of each sample were measured by plate reader after saturation. GFP fluorescence were corrected for OD600 value. The red line indicated Hill function fit of the dose-response curve and error bars indicate standard deviation calculated on the basis of technical replicates.

Figure 1: The top row shows centrifuge tubes containing the 4-nitrohenol ester reaction mixture for the palmitate (a) and octanoate (b) esters with no cells added. The middle row shows the response for a negative control where DH5⍺ cells without any plasmid were added to reaction mixtures containing 4-nitrophenyl-plamitate (c) or 4-nitrophenyl-octanoate (d). The bottom row shows the response for the BBa_K2694000 circuit transformed into DH5⍺ cells when added to reaction mixtures containing 4-nitrohenyl-plamitate (e) or 4-nitrophenyl-octanoate (f). All reaction mixtures were 1mM of the nitrophenyl ester with 1% v/v Triton X-100 in 0.1M pH 7 phosphate buffer.
