Cre-reverse loxP system:working when you need to express genes in the other direction
In the presence of theophylline, subsequent expression of Cre is induced. In addition, the promoter and RBS between the two reverse loxP's will be flipped so that it expresses the gene in the other direction.
Usage and Biology
When our engineered bacteria sense theophylline, it expresses Cre, which recognizes the reverse repeat sequence at both ends of the loxP site and binds to form a dimer, which then binds to a dimer at another loxP site to form a tetramer. In this way, Cre mediates sequence flips between reverse loxPs.
Characterization
SDS-PAGE
First, we identified nattokinase by SDS-PAGE. We identified nattokinase produced by optimal expression conditions mentioned in the literature and it produced by our desired expression conditions.
Functional Parameters
To verify the functionality of our part, we had the upstream gene of the promoter replaced with red fluorescence，and then transferred our plasmid into Escherichia coli DH5α and measured the intensity of red fluorescence with a microplate reader. Unfortunately, our bacteria did not produce red fluorescence, and upon analysis, it was conjectured that the transcriptional loxP formed a strong secondary structure and could not translate the red fluorescence protein behind it.
