LBD-GGGGGSG-tetR

This composite part consists of an N-terminal NR3C1 LBD(BBa_K4414000) domain and a C-terminal tetR(BBa_K4414009) domain fused with a GGGGGSG linker. It is designed to sense glucocorticoids and activates the transcription of the reporter gene.

Usage and Biology

As a glucocorticoid sensor, this part is designed to enter the nucleus upon glucocorticoid stimulation and bind to the TCE promoter to activate downstream transcription. This part consists of a tetR DNA binding domain, which binds to the TCE promoter (BBa_K4016011) consisting of seven direct 19-bp tet operator sequence (tetO) repeats. The NR3C1 LBD domain on the N terminal is the ligand�binding domain of the glucocorticoid receptor(GR). This LBD domain can translocate the fusion protein into the nucleus upon glucocorticoid stimulation. It also has a transactivating domain 2 (τ2) and an activation function domain 2 (AF2) which activates downstream gene expression.[1]

Sequence and Features

Method

HEK-293T cells were co-transfected with plasmids encoding both BBa_K4414026 and TCE-SEAP(BBa_K4414041). Cells were treated with 10, 50, or 100 nM Glucocorticoids 6 h post-transfection. Cells without glucocorticoid treatment were used as control. Culture medium was collected at 24 h or 48 h post glucocorticoids treatment. SEAP activity was measured according to a published protocol. [2]

Result

Results showed significantly increased SEAP expression in glucocorticoid-treated cells compared to the non-treated control (2-20 folds). A dose dependence was observed within 0-100 nM of glucocorticoid (Figure 2).
