The nitrate sensor(J23100-B0033) system with neGFP

The NarXL is a the two-component signal system in E.coli, which each constitute a sensor histidine kinase and a response regulator. The NarX is sensor histidine kinase, which can phosphorylate NarL in response to nitrate and nitrite. And then the phosphorylated NarL will binding the site and activate the transcription of PyeaR promoter. So in this nitrate sensor system, we use J23100 (strong promoter) and B0033 (weak RBS) to produce NarX and NarL. When we add different concentrations of nitrate, and measurement the fluorescence intensity to reflect the expression level of PyeaR promoter.

Usage and Biology

The NarX/NarL two component system(TCS) can be activated if the concentration of nitrate is enough. So this NarX/NarL TCS can be designed the nitrate sensor with the PyeaR promoter. When there is enough nitrate, the NarX will change configuration and then phosphorylate. After that, the phosphorylated NarX will transport the phosphate group to NarL. Last, the phosphorylated NarL will bind to the certain sequence of PyeaR, and it acts as a transcription factor, which can active the downstream of PyeaR to transcription.

In this part, we use the combination is J23100 -B0033. The promoter J23100 is the strong promoter, but B0033 is a weak RBS.

To learn more about nitrate sensor system, a collection of this kind of nitrate sensor system were constructed.

Functional Parameters

For the nitrate sensor sensitivity testing, we transformed the constructed plasmid with nitrate sensor into E.coli DH5α and BL21. The E.coli strain was cultured at 37°C overnight, and then diluted to OD600 = 0.4. And then, culture bacteria at 37°C for 2 hours, the potassium nitrate solution that has been serially diluted were add. After 8 hours inducing, we detected the expression of the neGFP by microplate reader.

Figure 1. The The nitrate response curve with J23100- B0033 in E.coli DH5α and BL21. The red vertical line shows the concentration of DSS induced in mouse, while the green vertical line shows the concentration of normal conditions. The DSS induced animal model often used as an inflammation model.

In this combination, the trends of the nitrate response curves of the two strains were not similar, but in E.coli BL21 has a significantly higher expression level. Meanwhile, BL21 requires a higher concentration of nitrate to activate the nitrate sensor system.
