Formaldehyde_derivative-2 promoter-ECFP-terminator

An improvement of BBa_K1334002 by adding the binding sites.It's more sensitive to formaldehyde.It is used to test whether it has any improvement compared with BBa_K1334002

Usage and Biology

As a DNA binding protein, hxlR is the transcriptional activator of the hxlAB operon from Bacillus subtilis. The possible mechanism of formaldehyde induced expression is that the formaldehyde change the conformation of hxlR which stimulating RNA polymerase to open the transcription.

There are two binding sites (BRH1, BRH2) of hxlR, which are necessary for formaldehyde induced expression. Through in vitro experiments, the higher the concentration of hxlR, the stronger the reaction intensity of the binding. Therefore, we enhanced the expression of hxlR to improve the sensitivity of formaldehyde promoter. J23100 is used in the formaldehyde_derivative-1 promoter to express the hxlR, as opposed to weak promoter on the registry formaldehyde promoter (BBa_ K1334002)

To construct this part, we moved formaldehyde_derivative-2 promoter (BBa_ BBa_K3332043) and RBS-ECFP-T(BBa_E0420) into the expression vector pSB1C3 by standard assembly. Then the ligation mixture was transformed into E. coli BH21 to compare the sensitivity of formaldehyde with other promoter.( formaldehyde_derivative-1 promoter, formaldehyde_derivative-3, formaldehyde promoter)

Characterization

The agarose gel electrophoresis images are below：

Protocol:

1.Culture glycerol bacteria containing the corresponding plasmid in test tube for 12h.

2.Add 4ml of the above bacterial solution into 200 mL LB medium and maintain the culture condition at 37 ℃ and 180 rpm.

3.Add 0.8mM formaldehyde into each group when OD600 increased to 0.6 and the culture condition is the same as before.

4.Then, sampling culture in 96-well plate reader every 3 hours to measure the fluorescence intensity (ECFP) and corresponding OD600, then calculate the fluorescence / OD value of each group.

Here is the result:

We discovered that formaldehyde_derivative-2 promoter is more sensitive to the registry formaldehyde promoter (BBa_ K1334002).
