Fluorescence Loss Assays

characterised by iGEM19_Wageningen

dCas9 - monoplex

The strength of dCas9 inhibition was measured in an Fluorescence Loss Assay. GFP, under the control of the lacUV5 promoter, is genomically inserted in an E. coli DH10ß strain. Three spacer were designed (Sp1 - 3) targeting either the -10 element of the lacUV5 promoter (Sp1) or the first 100 nucleotides of the GFP cds. A non-targeting Spacer (SpNT) was included as a control. All spacers were expressed via a single guide (sg)RNA expression cassette. Expression of dCas9 is IPTG inducible via the lacI/lac operator system.

Sp1 - 3 show clear reduction of GFP levels. Leakiness of lacI/lac operator system results in GFP repression even under un-induced conditions. The choice of spacers shows an effect on the efficiency of repression. Targeting the promoter region is more promising for repression of gene expression (Sp1) compared to targeting the beginning of the cds (Sp2&3). For recommendations regarding spacer design see Larson et al., 2013.

Figure1: Fluorescence Loss Assay. Amount of GFP fluorescence under the induction of dCas9 targeting GFP.

The expression of dCas9 is regulated by an IPTG inducible expression system. Sp1 - 3 represent three different spacers targeting GFP or the associated promoter. SpNT represents a non-targeting spacer serving as a control.

dCas9 - multiplex

In a similar manner the strength of dCas9 inhibition on two targets, GFP & RFP, was measured simultaneously. GFP & RFP were under the control of the constitutive phage lambda PR & PL promoter, respectively . Sp1 - 3 refer to three different combinations of two spacers targeting each either GFP or RFP. A non-targeting Spacer (SpNT) was included as a control. Sp1 - 3 were expressed via a double sgRNA expression cassette with each sgRNA being linked to either a GFP or RFP targeting spacer. Expression of dCas9 is IPTG inducible via the lacI/lac operator system.

Figure2: Fluorescence Loss Assay. Amount of GFP fluorescence under the induction of dCas9 targeting GFP.

The expression of dCas9 is regulated by an IPTG inducible expression system. Sp1 - 3 refer to three different combinations of two spacers targeting each either GFP or RFP. SpNT represents a non-targeting spacer serving as a control.
