Pars-RBS-arsR-RBS-luxR(△2-162)-TT-PluxⅠ-RBS-luxR(△2-162)-RBS-mtrC -TT

Uses a factor P_ars(BBa_K4767001) ,strong RBS(BBa_J34801), DNA binding transcriptional repressor arsR(BBa_J15101), luxR(△2-162)(BBa_K4767000) TT(BBa_B0015) ,P_luxI(BBa_R0062) and mtrC (BBa_K3102020).This composite part is used in the iron reduction experiment and MFC.

Usage and Biology

In order to construct a positive feedback circuit which does not require 3OC6HSL produced by LuxI, we engineered LuxR by deleting 2-262 amino acids in the N-terminal domain (AHL binding domain) and reserving a C-terminal domain with the function of activating transcription, obtaining a resulting regulator LuxR(△2-162). LuxR(△2-162) can active the gene transcription driven by the lux promoter in the absence of AHL. To construct the amplifier, we cloned gfp and LuxR(Δ2-162) behind the lux promoter. In this design, LuxR(Δ2-162) functions in a positive feedback loop as it can bind to the P_luxIpromoter and activate its own transcription.

After the modification of the LuxR(Δ2-162), we applied the amplifier into the arsenic-response system we build. The transcriptional activator, LuxR(Δ2-162), was used to replace cymA as reporter, and it was regulated by the arsR-P_ars circuit, while cymA together with a second LuxR(Δ2-162) was placed under the promoter P_luxI, which was activated by LuxR(Δ2-162). When arsenic is present, it activates the expression of LuxR(Δ2-162) in the first circuit, which turns on the expression of cymA and LuxR(Δ2-162) from the following circuit. The second LuxR(Δ2-162) activates its own expression as well as that of cymA and forms a positive feedback loop to enhance the output signal from cymA. These two parts work together as the arsenic EAS-based sensor with the positive feedback amplifier. Our results suggested that, compared with the sensor without positive feedback, the one with a positive feedback amplifier functions well in enhancing the iron reduction rates, increasing the detection range, and improving sensitivity. By introducing the positive feedback amplifier into the arsenic sensor, the output signal was enhanced so much that the specificity of the sensor toward arsenic was also significantly increased.
