Refractile inclusion bodies

SZU-China 2019 iGEM team was going to find a suicide switch inside the E coli that can break the whole body of the bacteria leading to the release of RNAi molecules transcribed from E coli inducing by IPTG or some other else. Therefore, we were in need the useful mechanism. Fortunately, we finally found the Refractile inclusion bodies (R-bodies) to kill the E coli, causing the inclusion to flow out of the plasma membrane, so that we can get the RNAi molecules transcribed by E coli.

Refractile inclusion bodies, known as R bodies, are produced by only a few species of bacteria. These inclusion bodies are highly insoluble protein ribbons, typically seen coiled into cylindrical structures within the cell[1]. R-bodies are produced by Paramecium endosymbionts belonging to the genus Caedibacter. These intracellular bacteria confer upon their hosts a phenomenon called the killer trait[2]. This is one of the DNA sequences for the R body locus (reb) from Caedibacter taeniospiralis.

The R bodies of C. taeniospiralis are type 51. They are about 0.5 μm wide, have a maximum length of 20 μm, and 13 nm thick, possess acute angles at each end, and unroll in a telescopic fashion when exposed to a pH of 6.5 or lower. These proteinaceous ribbons are rolling up inside the cell to form a hollow cylinder about 0.5 μm in diameter and 0.5 μm long.
