HrpS

promoter

Profile

Name: HrpS

Base Pairs: 912bp

Origin: Pseudomonas syringae, genome

Properties: A coding sequence of HrpS protein

Usage and Biology

This codes for HrpS protein. HrpR protein binds to HrpS protein forming a complex and then triggering the transcription of promoter hrpL. This functions like a AND logic gate.

Experimental approach

Recombinant Plasmid Construction

Lane 1 and 2: Plasmid pSU2718-p15A digested by Xba1 and BamH1.

Lane 3: Part 2, PttB344_HrpS_PJ23105_ttrR, got by PCR method with size of 2060bp.

This step is used to get the plasmids pSU2718-p15A digested by enzyme Xba1 and BamH1and gene PttB344_HrpS_PJ23105_ttrR by PCR method for later in the process. Therefore, channel 1 and 2 were plasmids pSU2718-p15A digested by enzyme Xba1 and BamH1. And channel 3 were gene PttB344_HrpS_PJ23105_ttrR got by PCR. Clean-up the product to obtain pSU2718-p15A backbone and PttB344_HrpS_PJ23105_ttrR-fragment.

T4 DNA ligase is used to connect pSU2718-p15A backbone and PttB344_HrpS_PJ23105_ttrR-fragment to get plasmid pSU2718-part2.

Lane 1: Plasmid pSU2718-p15A digested by EcoR1.

Lane 2 to 5: Recombinant plasmid pSU2718-part2 digested by EcoRI. We got two bands with size of 2803bp and 1544bp. The results show that we got the correct plasmid. And the plasmid was sent to sequence.

Sequencing feedback shows we have obtained the correct plasmids which is consistent with their DNA profiles.

Sample 1: Negative Control (E. coli)

Sample 2: Positive Control (E. coli/amilGFP)

Sample 3: E. coli/pUC-57_Part 3

Sample 4: E.coli/pSU2718-Part 1_Part 2+pUC-57_Part 3

In order to further analyze the performance of Part 2, we also designed the control groups as showing above where Sample 1 and Sample 2 were presented as the comparison of the fluorescence phenomenon. We can see that there was no fluorescence in Sample 3 (the report part, Part 3). According to the result of Sample 3 and Sample 4 (Figure 5), we could infer that the AND gate design works (HrpR_HrpS, PhrpL) as the Part 3 didn’t respond when there is no Part 1 and Part 2.

Of course, we also repeated the experiments and measured the fluorescence intensity by ELIASA. The data is given below.

According to the trend in Figure 7, the fluorescence intensity of pUC57-Part 3 presents the similar level as that of blank control and group NO3-, which means the “gate keeper” promoter, PhrpL works well and this conclusion also back up the conclusion that the AND gate design works well (HrpR_HrpS, PhrpL). As the group S4O62 did present higher fluorescence intensity than that of group NO3- whenever OD600 equals to 0.8 or 1, it indicates that Part 2 and Part 3 both works well as Part 2 did show “green light” to the thiosulfate to finally “light” the Part 3.
