Lux I with myc tag under Promoter prmA activated in the presence of PFOS

Pprma(BBa_K2911000)- RBS(BBa_B0034) - LuxI(BBa_C0061) - Myc(BBa_K823036)

Usage and Biology

This part was built to show that LuxI can be expressed under prma promoter, and to compare its expression under prma promoter with/without PFOA. prma promoter is found in Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 and regulates the transcription of prma, a gene producing a propane monoxygenase. In our project, we rely on this promoter for the detection of polyfluoroalkyl substances, a pollutant found in the Baltic Sea. LuxI is found in Vibrio fischeri and can produce 3OC6-HSL, a lactone that can be used as a signalling molecule for which the sender is LuxI and the receiver is LuxR. In our project LuxI is in E. coli, in the detector module, while LuxR is in Shewanella oneidensis, in the electricity output module.

In our project, this is the final construct to insert in E. coli in order to detect the pollutant perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in the sensing module. We added a myc-tag to the part in order to be able to characterize it by Western Blotting.

Characterization

Due to the pandemics, we haven’t been able to use biobricks to create the iGEM Stockholm 2020 parts. Those parts were ordered as gene blocks from Integrated DNA Technologies Inc.. As a result, the sequences of the biobricks used are the same, but the scars between biobricks might differ, as well as the final size of the part. We sent this part for sequencing to Microsynth AG. The sequence obtained corresponded to the expected part.
