KB2-tetR-T7(tetO)-3WJdB-Ptet-sgRNA

A biosensor device for better tetracycline detection.

Usage and Biology
Compared to our another part TetR-tetM-T7(tetO)-3WJdB(BBa_K3777014),it adds a binding site which can be regonized by dcas9 proteins and sgRNA.(Fig 1)
When tet was absent, TetR would bind to the inducible promoter（PI）and prevent RNA polymerase from initiating transcription, thus repressing the expression of reporter gene. If tet was present, TetR would no longer able to bind to the promoter, resulting in the expression of reporter gene. But BS2 will be regonized and cut by dca9 proteins and sgRNA leading to lower fluorescence expression.
We expressed this circuit in the E. coli BL21(DE3) cells for tetracycline detection. Thus we could roughly deduce the concentration of the antibiotics in the sample according to the fluorescence intensity.
Fig.1 Schematic overview of the genetic circuit.
