Tuner E

Design

Background of 2019 OUC-China's project——RiboLego

Due to context-dependent performance and limited dynamic range, the widespread application of riboswitches is currently restricted. By replacing its original ORF with a new one, the structure of an aptamer domain can be subtly disrupted, resulting in a loss of ligand response. So riboswitch is still not be considered as a ‘plug and play' device. To tackle these problems, our project focuses on a standardized design principle to be used for modular and tunable riboswitch. The modular riboswitch we defined consists of the original riboswitch, Stabilizer and Tuner. Stabilizer can protect the structure of riboswitch from damage while Tuner can reduce the expression probability of fusion protein and make improvement of riboswitch function.

The construction of this part

We defined a Tuner element to include a repressing region, a RBS region and a coupled junction region. The repressing region is the reverse complement of a subsequence of the RBS region so that Tuner can form a hairpin with appropriate ∆G. The stop and start codon fused in the junction region. Ribosomes recruited by the upstream riboswitch can open up the hairpin of Tuner before dissociation at the stop codon in the junction region. Additional ribosomes can then assemble at the Tuner RBS and initiate translation at the first start codon of the introduced gene of interest. Therefore, Tuner can facilitate tuning of a riboswitch’s response and help GOI express normally. The following diagram shows the structure of Tuner E and we marked each region clearly.
