HEK-293T cells were co-transfected with plasmids encoding both BBa_K4414035 and TCE-SEAP(BBa_K4414041). Cells were treated with 100 nM Glucocorticoids 6 h post-transfection. Cells without glucocorticoid treatment were used as control. Culture medium was collected at 24 h post glucocorticoids treatment. SEAP activity was measured according to a published protocol.

TetR-3xGSlinker-LBD

This composite part consists of an N-terminal tetR(BBa_K4414009) domain and a C-terminal NR3C1 LBD(BBa_K4414000) domain fused with a 3xGS linker(BBa_K4414063). 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 C 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].

Method

HEK-293T cells were co-transfected with plasmids encoding both BBa_K4414035 and TCE-SEAP(BBa_K4414041). Cells were treated with 100 nM Glucocorticoids 6 h post-transfection. Cells without glucocorticoid treatment were used as control. Culture medium was collected at 24 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 (2.65 folds)(Figure 2).
