Nitric Oxide Sensing Genetic Circuit With Two Ribosomal Binding Sites

Usage and Biology

In the frame of our project, we wanted to improve the construct BBa_K4387005 by adding one more ribosomal binding site to see if we could achieve a higher GFP response.

Thus this part consists of the inducible pNorVβ promoter, superfolder GFP preceded by two strong ribosomal binding sites (BBa_B0029, BBa_B0034), the (NorR regulator), and a double forward terminator. We chose a high-copy backbone from Twist Bioscience for this part. Due to the competitive binding of the activated and inactivated NorR on the promoter, we decided on this construct with a positive feedback loop that adjusted the levels of NorR based on the amount of nitric oxide present [1]. The presence of nitric oxide would activate pNorVβ to induce GFP and NorR expression. Thereby, we ensure that high amounts of NorR will be produced only when NO is present.

This construct was tested in the bacterial strain E.coli Nissle 1917.


Characterization

According to figure__, we could prove that this construct with two ribosomal binding sites and the codon-optimized NorR had the highest GFP response.

While this part has higher overall GFP expression values, it is also leakier than the constructs with one or three ribosomal binding sites. If high GFP expression is required, but some leakiness does not matter much, we recommend choosing BBa_K4387006. If lower leakiness is essential, but GFP expression does not need to be very high, we recommend using parts BBa_K4387005 or BBa_K4387007 instead.
